You can sit in a chair and listen to someone explain how to defend yourself. Or, you can actually do it. At Blue Skies, there’s no slideshow. You’ll throw real strikes, real kicks, and real ground defense - and on the final day, you’ll get to go full force against me in the suit and find out that you’re capable of great power and strength. Knowing what to do and being able to do it are two different things…I teach the second. Aug 13 - 15 / 5:00PM - 7:00PM - Lake City FL. Call or text Rick @ 386-324-1558 email: [email protected]. Classes capped at 8 so everyone gets real training. When it’s full - it’s full. FIGHT TO WIN - Not to just survive. #904 #386

If you have a daughter, a wife, a sister, a mom, or a best friend, this class is for someone you love.

And if you’re that someone, it’s for you.

You don’t need to be young. You don’t need to be athletic. You don’t need any experience. This class is designed for everyday women who want to feel more confident, more aware, and better prepared.

In just three classes, you’ll learn practical self-defense skills like situational awareness, escape techniques, effective defensive strikes, and how to respond under stress. The goal isn’t to turn you into a fighter—it’s to help you avoid danger, create opportunities to escape, and get home safely.

Best of all, you’ll be learning from Rick Banke, founder of Blue Skies Fi****ms Academy, whose career includes more than 21 years as a Federal Air Marshal and over 40 years of combined law enforcement and security experience. His instruction is rooted in real-world experience and focused on practical skills that anyone can learn.

Whether you’re 18 or 80, a college student or a grandmother, this class is for you.

Because confidence comes from being prepared.
