Answering Your Questions
Starting self-defense classes may raise many questions, and we are happy to answer them! If you have any questions that still need to be answered below, we will gladly answer them via call or email.
What is the #1 Rule of Self-Defense?
According to our owner and head coach, David Bergman, the #1 rule of self-defense is to stay upright and conscious. This may sound like two rules; however, they go hand in hand. Remaining upright gives you an upper hand to defend yourself and run away when the opportunity presents itself.
We train you to be able to keep your upright and dominant position, as well as stay conscious as much as possible. If the situation arises that you are no longer vertical, we train you in defenses against soccer-style kicks, curb-stomps, and other attacks to your safety while on the ground.
How Can I Train Myself in Self-Defense?
Outside of training in classes, you can begin to practice self-defense by:
- Keeping your distance from strangers when possible
- Set firm verbal boundaries and personally decide what those boundaries are
- Present yourself with confidence through your posture and tone
- Trust your instincts
Building these tools will help you when you are approached in most public outings. How you project yourself shows those around you a lot about your strength and confidence levels. This typically helps attackers cue in their next victims.
