Self Defense Saturdays

Personal Protection For Individuals & Families

Saturdays in Sloatsburg, NY

12:30-1:30 PM

🛡️ Protect What Matters Most.

Protect yourself and your family — regardless of age, size, or fitness level.

Learn practical self-defense that builds
confidence, awareness, and peace of mind.
👊 Be Capable. Be Seen as Capable.

Predators look for easy targets. Awareness and preparation take you off that list.


When you carry yourself with confidence and presence, you’re far less likely to be selected.

The goal isn’t aggression — it’s controlled ability.
Real skill, clearly carried, protects you and the people you love.

 🧰 Why Practical  Self-Defense Is Different.

Real violence is unpredictable. That’s why we train swift, decisive actions using adaptive close-quarters principles — not competition rules or choreography.

Instead of memorizing sequences, you’ll build reflexive responses so you can make split-second decisions under pressure. We use realistic, unscripted scenarios to hard-wire calm, capable reactions you can carry anywhere.

✨ Simple, Effective, Real-World Skills

• Stay clear and procative under pressure

•. React instinctively with effective power

• Recognize red flags and prevent situations before they escalate

Empower yourself as well as your loved ones

• Build confidence that carries into every part of your life

🔥 What You'll Learn:

Violence prevention & awareness: spotting pre-attack cues, reading situations early

Mindset & decision-making: when to disengage, when to act, how to end it fast

Movement & mechanics: grounded power and body mechanics that work for all sizes & fitness levels

Common attacks: grabs, rushes, chokes, multiple angles, confined spaces

Common scenarios: parking lots, elevators, stairwells, home invasions and more

Tools & myths: what helps, what doesn’t, and how to handle self-defense tools responsibly

Here in Sloatsburg, our focus is simple: give people the capability to protect themselves and their families when it matters most.

🧠 Train Smart. Stay Ready.

These aren’t fight clubs — they’re skill-building sessions for people of all ages & fitness levels.
