Self defence class.
Personal Defense Training
This is an 8-week program that will focus on threat awareness and avoidance, and basic weakening and escape techniques for real world situations. This program is based upon the best self-defense practices as taught by Bergamo’s Martial Arts and the American Filipino Kun Tao association.  THIS IS NOT A FORMAL OR SPORT MARTIAL ARTS CLASS.
Awareness of surroundings and odd behavior of people who may pose threats to your safety is a very important part of your personal safety and survival.  We will emphasize this and teach our students to recognize and identify an unsafe environment as well as to become sensitive to their “gut feelings” of danger.  It is always better to avoid a self-defense situation in the first place.
Self-defense techniques will begin with understanding how to maintain one’s balance and proper movement and distancing.  We will move on to basic and effective hand and foot striking, including understanding the importance of “speed, aggression and surprise”.  We will also teach how to avoid and escape from headlocks, chokes and hand grabs.
Regular attendance to this class will allow the student to develop the attitude muscle and memory that will not only allow them to instantly recognize danger but to instinctively react with effective techniques. This program would also be a great complement for students who may have attended other one day self-defense seminars.
