Urban Self Defense - Self Protection Tools & Usage

It's unfortunate that we are in a time when crime has spiked far higher than it has in very long time, and by all estimations, our current economic and social situations has made it such that the likelihood of your being the victim of a violent crime is significantly higher. While most self defense classes focus on techniques that are far too complex for the average person to realistically perform under stress against multiple opponents, bigger and stronger opponents, and assailants who have spent their lives mastering violent crime. Quite often as well many curriculums advocate techniques that could bring about your incarceration under current New York City laws. In this class we will look at evasion and avoidance and also what to do when the environment and or situation makes it impossible to escape.

Now mounting a realistic counterattack is one of the most difficult aspects of self defense, and in this class we will look at the use of several (inexpensive and readily available) tools that you can legally carry that will increase the likelihood of your surviving a violent event. Tools and techniques that anyone regardless of age, fitness level or gender can use against a superior (and most likely armed) opponent(s) all while staying within legal rules of engagement using techniques that have been (unfortunately) tried and tested over decades
