Fight Back Self Defense

Fight Back Self Defense I am a self defense instructor. Classes are open to anyone, with a special focus on individuals with blindness and other physical disabilities. Thank you.

My name is Jim Turk. I am a self-defense instructor, and also happen to be completely blind. It is an unfortunate fact that criminals often target people who are perceived, for whatever reason, as "easy targets". The reasons for this perception could range from a person’s age, gender, physical size, or, as in my case, a noticeable disability. Regardless of the reason for this perception of vulnera

bility, assaults against people in these categories tend to be very similar in nature to one another. For this reason, the self-defense principles and techniques I teach are useful to a wide range of individuals, such as senior citizens, women, children, and those with disabilities. After I began losing my vision, I started becoming more interested in personal safety and self-defense. I have since earned my blue belt in the martial art Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and have received my certification as a coach in the OneTouch self-defense system, which was specifically designed for blind people. The more I learn, the more I wanted to be able to share my knowledge with others, so I have started my own business teaching self-defense, called Fight Back. I am located in Villa Park, IL, and I am available to teach private lessons or group classes. Please feel free to contact me for more information, or if you have any questions. Also, please like and share my page to help me spread the word.

There's no such thing as a fair fight. Especially if that fight is with a stranger.

Always remember to remain calm no matter the situation.

If you just can't fightback or throw a simple punch, please cary a can of pepper spray.

As the summertime heats up, the sure to stay vigilant of your bags, suitcases, purses, etc.

Hey ladies! That purse that you love to cary, can be a useful weapon to the face of your attacker. Just be sure the straps are strong.
