Self-Defense For Men vs. Women

About Our Classes

Classes cover realistic scenarios using modern techniques in a controlled and safe environment. We are one of the only programs in Orange County to offer full contact training against a padded assailant. Training in a full-force environment allows the student to feel the effects that adrenaline can have on the mind and body. Students learn how to effectively deliver continuous incapacitating strikes and what it feels like to correctly deliver a real knockout blow. Utilizing "Full Force Adrenaline Based Training", the student engrains the techniques into muscle memory. This enables the body to respond in an effective manner, even if the mind fails to recall information.
