🚨 LEVEL 1 SELF DEFENSE – 8 CLASSES | 8 HOURS 🚨 Starts May 21st
Recently, there was a video circulating of a young woman in Red Deer being violently attacked.
Like many people, I found it extremely difficult to watch.
What stood out to me most was the position she ended up in — on the ground.
As an MMA fighter and coach, I can tell you this with confidence:
the ground is one of the most common places people end up during a real altercation.
I see it time and time again.
These are the situations I specialize in professionally.
The fundamentals taught in this course are designed specifically for these kinds of real-world situations. If you’ve attended one of my self defense classes before, you already know how effective concepts like the Trap & Roll variations can be in helping someone escape and create an opportunity to get safe.
We’ll also teach how proper footwork and framing can help you create distance, stay balanced, and potentially avoid going to the ground altogether.
To truly build confidence in feeling safe, you first need to understand the basic concepts of self defense.
That’s why we focus on the most common ways people are attacked and exactly what to do in those situations through repetition and hands-on practice.
