Course Descriptions

Level 1 - Essential Self-Protection - White and Yellow Belts

"Learning Strength and Stability Amidst All of Life's Challenges"

Martial arts elbow strikeThis course is designed to provide you with an effective set of physical, intellectual, and emotional self-defense skills. Our goal is to empower you with simple, usable techniques from day one.

The training includes defenses against high-probability attacks; you will learn a few simple defenses against things such as: being punched in the head or body, being choked, being shoved, low-line kicks to your legs, and being grabbed and held in place or moved to another location or vehicle. You will also learn what to do about short range attacks with blunt objects, and how to use short-length sticks in self-protection.

As a training member you will typically spend at least six months in Level 1 until you are comfortable with and fully "own" the material.

 

Level 2 - Advanced Self-Protection - Blue and Red Belts

"The Science of Overcoming Danger"
"The Art of Proper Timing"


Build on your momentum of accomplishment from what you learned in Level 1. Our level 2 coursework is based around gaining personal confidence, the ability to recognize potential danger, and the capability to make the right choices under pressure.

The training includes defenses against high-probability attacks; you will learn defenses against things like being put in a headlock, being kicked and punched multiple times, being attacked by a larger, stronger adversary, what to do about knives, and how to use knives and medium-length sticks in self-protection.

You will learn about how to get out of the way of overpowering attacks and defeat an attacker through angling and leverage, and the courage it takes to find the safety of moving towards danger at just the precise moment necessary to protect yourself or others.

 

Level 3 - Protector Martial Arts - Green and Brown Belts

"The Ability to Capture and Utilize Negative Physical and Emotional Energy"

Your tool training will focus on working with and against flexible weapons and defenses against firearms at close range. The physical training also includes defenses against high-probability unarmed attacks and the refinement of all previously learned techniques.

 

Level 4 - Black Belt Mastery

"Every moment is an opportunity
to take another step towards realizing your potential"

As a Black Belt training member you will strive to master those fundamental techniques that are the basis of true skill; you will also work to develop a spirit of winning in the face of all of life's challenges.

Vehicle self-protection trainingSome of the advanced skills you develop include using less effort to generate more speed and power, how to respond with grace and intelligence when confronted with brutality and ignorance, how to deal with multiple attackers, using and defending against various weapons, fighting from inside or near a vehicle, environmental self-protection, ground fighting, survival in various environments, defeating attackers skilled in street fighting or other martial arts, and how to protect others.

Classical Japanese martial artsAt all levels, some training is done in classical unarmed and weapons training from our Japanese and Filipino combat lineages is also available; which includes outdated weapons technology that can be used to understand timeless principles of combat. Topics include the Japanese sword, the chain, the short club, blades, the three, four, and six foot staff, improvised weapons, and much more. At Level 4 Black Belt, students can choose to specialize in a particular lineage of classical unarmed or weapons training. They can also choose to specialize in a particular interest such as catch wrestling / submission wrestling or more advanced striking training.
