Women have the option to train in Contemporary Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or they can take separate self defense classes only. Women are very capable of learning both Contemporary Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; however, some may prefer to learn a streamlined art that can be learned in several hours. These self defense classes are taught in groups and provide basic training in self defense. They are founded on the following principle:

 Escape To Get Away.

 The first letter of each word reminds the student where to strike:

 1. Eyes;

2. Throat;

3. Groin; and

4. Ankle.

 Instead of having to remember numerous self defense techniques, the student only has to remember 4 targets: eyes, throat, groin, and ankle. During times of great stress, it can be very hard to remember sophisticated techniques. The simplicity of this system of self defense increases the defenders chance of survival. These classes can be taught in approximately 2 hours and when finished, attendees express increased confidence in their ability to defend themselves.

Free Monthly Seminars

Every month we offer a free 2 hour seminar for women that want to learn basic self defense. The instruction involves not just physical techniques, but also the emotional requirements to actually defend oneself. These seminars are our way of giving back to the community. It is our desire to empower women to take control of their lives by enabling them to learn how to defeat an attacker and "Escape to Gain Safety."
