Practical real world self defense workshops at NY San Da

Whether you are training in martial arts or not, there are always two elements to real world self defense. The first is awareness to avoid threats. The second is knowing when you are legally in the right to defend yourself. We teach you BOTH. We have over 30 years experience including training various law enforcement agencies as well
