Self-Defense

Juniors, Maegan and Sydney are demonstrating how to do a double wrist grab preparing to do a quick release self-defense move.

 

Juniors, Matthew and DeShawn, are demonstrating a single wrist grab preparing to do a quick release.

As part of our self defense training we teach all of our students how to fall forwards and backwards safely. In this class, the students are learning how to fall forward and protect their face.

 We also prepare our students to roll safely and quickly to get back up to defend themselves. The students in the picture below are preparing to roll over on their leading shoulder as done in Aikido.

Self defense is an integral part of our curriculum at all levels and ages. Every self defense technique is taught at an age appropriate level. We teach our students to use the techniques of our program to defend themselves in a last resort situation.
