Two Day Unarmed Self Defense Skills Course

AzQkr · January 24th, 2009, 01:07 AM

When: June 13-14 2009

Where: Lake Mary, Florida Hotel - Colonial Town park, Lake Mary - Florida, FL - Hampton Inn Hotels utilizing one of their air conditioned conference rooms

For students who decide to stay at the Hampton Inn that weekend we have negotiated a room rate of 89.00 per night.

Cost: $200.00 per person for the weekend

Training Time: 9am to 5 pm both days

Deposit: $50.00 deposit holds a slot and we are closing this event at 20 students

This course is a compilation of materials I've offered in my women’s self defense courses, WW2 unarmed combative's seminars and the defensive edged weapons course taught to citizens and law enforcement officers at the S+W Academy as their adjunct defensive edged weapons instructor.

Skills that will create time and distance to allow you to access your own weapon

How to break away from being grabbed by the arm with one hand
How to break away from being grabbed by the arm with both hands
How to break away and escape from being choked from the front
How to break away and escape from being choked from behind
The use of the Chin Jab, Y-Hand, Axe-Hand to effect releases
Techniques using a pen or kubaton type implement to strike to the face, hands, wrists and ribs to affect an immediate release by the attacker.

Several open hand palm strikes and slapping skills that devastate the opponent and allow escapes depending on where you strike. You may not even need to go to guns with these. Quick to learn, easy to perform under duress, these skills were taught to covert agents behind enemy lines in Germany in the 40's with great success in the real world of comabtives.

Surviving the first second of a knife attack while unarmed. Learn just 6 skills that cover the full range of how a knife will be used against you and how to survive the initial attack using a collapsing startle response and protecting the bodies core from the blade.

Learn how to get away from being a hostage with a knife to your neck from the front and from behind. These are very easy to learn, so simple most people would not think of them. The police officers just couldn't believe how easy these were to keep from being taken hostage.

Defending with the folder or short straight blade against an attacker. Learn how to utilize that folding knife or short straight blade from the kitchen drawer to minimize or negate damage from an aggressor’s knife. We’ll cover knife carry positions; accessing the folder from various carry positions; the three grip positions commonly used with a knife and their respective strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to use the “Wall of Edge” to defend yourself against someone with a knife. The wall of edge was one of the first skills I learned from my mentors and it’s still one of the best at defending yourself from a knife attack.

This course offers men and women the opportunity to learn fast, simple, effective skills that are distilled down to the best of the best and taken from several disciplines and courses.

The course doesn’t require any previous training or experience in self defense, does not require you to be physically fit nor lead an active lifestyle to be able to effect a positive resolution if you are physically assaulted. All that is required of the student is to wear your daily street clothes, sneakers and be willing to learn skills that can save your life or that of someone with you.

Each student will be given a Kubaton for the class for training and be able to take that home with them at the end of the seminar.

It also important for members to understand that material covered in this course, though "hands on" has been attended by people from 17 to 70 with no injuries sustained by anyone.

Each student's physical strength and abilities are unique, taken into consideration on an individual basis in the seminar and no one will be subjected to things that will injure them in any way.

Most of these skills require a minimum of strength to use on the streets, many based on leverage and knowing where to "touch" someone to get them to release or react in a way that allows creating time and distance to access your own weapon of choice or leave the area.

Geared toward those with minimal or no physical hand to hand [ H2H ] skills, one will quickly be able to utilize many of the skills effective immediately upon being shown "how to".

Students will not be "going to ground", thrown to the floor, etc in this course. Many are control skills that effect releases and don't require one to knock people around to get the desired result but at the same time can be used to demoralize, break off an attack, or actually result in serious bodily injure to the assailant depending on where one decided to strike them.

These skills are not the typical McDojo skills that take long sessions to be able to use correctly or effectively and that rarely work on the streets without years of training. They've been used in the real world for decades in some of the worst environs and have a history of being effective.
