Defensive Tactics
Typically, Defensive Tactics training refers to Law Enforcement specifically. However, along with Law Enforcement training, we also offer classes in Women’s Self-defense and Self-defense for the general public. In all of these classes, the time, place, length of class and other issues will discussed once you contact one of the “Instructors” in this website.
Defensive Tactics for Law Enforcement.
This class deals specifically with Law Enforcement Officers and what they might encounter in their line-of-duty. The contents of this class will deal with whatever areas of defensive tactic you want taught. This may include tactics in general or more specific areas. The length of class or number of classes may vary, depending on your needs, including a continuous routine. This class will be restricted to Law Enforcement Officers only.
Women’s Self-defense.
This class focuses on defensive tactics that women will need to defend themselves if they are attacked. Along with a good work-out with physical techniques for avoiding or escaping an attack, about half of the time is spent in lecture on things women need to know to hopefully avoid a attack. Attendance to this class will be restricted to women only.
Self-defense for the general public.
This class will be similar to Women’s Self-defense but topics will be more general in nature. Women’s Self-defense will deal more with rape attacks whereas this will deal more with attacks in general. Here again, there will be both lecture and physical practice time in this class.
