Self Defense

With Gustav

Want to learn to defend yourself, but don’t want to take months of classes to feel safe?

This self defense class focuses on simple, easy-to-apply conflict de-escalation tools for escaping an attacker and restoring safety. You will walk away from this training with real techniques that you can incorporate immediately and use easily if you ever find yourself in a situation of defense.

This class covers:
• The Do's and Don'ts in a Self Defense Situation
• How to Mitigate Risk in a Conflict
• Body Mechanics & Structures of Self Safety
• Techniques to Diffuse a Situation if Attacked or Grabbed

This beginner-friendly class will include partner practice and hands-on instruction to help you solidify techniques. This class will NOT focus on strikes, throwing, or complicated techniques that require years of experience.
