What is Self Defense?


What is Self Defense by Kyoshi Steve LaVallee.

After a busy day, you're walking though the parking lot to your car. Just as you open the door, someone approaches you unexpectedly with a knife to your throat. You respond quickly and aggressively, defending yourself, controlling the weapon and neutralizing the attacker.

That is Self Defense!

Your child is having his lunch at school, suddenly he gets slapped in the back of the head by a larger, stronger and threatening kid that is well known as a bully. Your son stands up to him with confidence and courage, backs the bully down without using his physical skills.

That is Self Defense!

Here's a real story: Several years ago, I was traveling with my mentor to do a series of seminars in the UK. We were sitting at an outdoor cafe waiting for our lunch, when suddenly I noticed an intoxicated patron a few tables away starting to argue loudly with another gentleman. It was obvious to me that it was soon to become violent.

I asked my mentor to get up quickly and put his back up against a wall. (Mr C. is in his eighties and doesn't really like to do anything quickly :-) I positioned him between the wall and used myself as a protective shield. Just in time because a physical fight did break out and pretty much wiped out the table we were sitting.

Neither of us was harmed and we soon resumed our lunch and had a good laugh.

That is Self Defense!

If you or one of your family members were involved in any of these situations...

Would you rather be trained or untrained?

Our dojo's are filled with friendly, respectful and caring people. Sometimes the real world is not so friendly, respectful or safe. Unfortunately, there are many dangers lurking in the world around us. You don't need to look far to realize violent crimes do occur in your own community, perhaps in your own back yard.

Be ready...be aware...be trained!

Our program specializes in teaching practical, real world Self-Defense skills for men, women and children. As your body gets in better and better shape, you'll also be learning valuable skills that raises your awareness and will give you the confidence and skills to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from danger.

SAFE...FIT & FOCUSED!
