Event Description

COMMON SENSE SELF DEFENCE

A no-nonsense, practical, and simple means of defending oneself against aggression through common practical scenarios.  The ongoing focus of the program is one of deterrence employing decisive, yet non-lethal means.  This is not a martial arts class, and while hands-on, is not combative in nature.

Basic techniques such a punches, kicks, blocks, and strikes will be utilized in conjunction with variable escapes against grabs, holds, chokes and restraints.  Study of basic human anatomy, physics as related to body mechanics and elementary psychology will also be employed, enabling participants to develop a well-rounded attitude of confidence against unwanted aggression.

While primarily designed to provide women with confidence in their day-today routines, the program is useful for adults of all ages.  No experience is necessary. Emphasis will be given to scenarios participants themselves would like to address, giving this program a unique and real-world approach to defending oneself. 

Your instructor, Mike Van Natter, is a 7th Dan Karate Black Belt, former kick-boxing trainer and handgun safety instructor with over 40 years experience all things self-defence, with experience in restoring confidence in rape victims and people of various ethnic backgrounds.
