We at Apologia firmly believe that everyone should have tools in which to protect themselves.
This program is for any adult, man or woman who does not want to train Martial Arts in its entirety but does want to be able to defend and protect themselves and those they love.
The program consists of 10 Units each focusing on a different type of defense, offered in Spring, Summer and Fall sessions.
Units can be taken in any order
(so if you miss one, you can take it in the next session).
The lessons/units are approximately 1 hour long. They are as follows:
Unit 1: Wrist and Shoulder Grab Defense
Unit 2: Cross wrist Grab
Unit 3: Shoulder Grabs
Unit 4: Two handed wrist grab
Unit 5: Two Handed Front choke
Unit 6: Containments and Joint Locks
Unit 7: Rear Naked Choke
Unit 8: Head Lock & Bear Hug
Unit 9: Knife Defense
Unit 10: Club & Gun Defense
The first thing we would like you to know is that this course is designed to give you a set of tools so that you can survive & prevail in a physical altercation.
This course is not going to turn you into a ninja or give you 30 years of martial arts experience. This course will give you a set of tools to employ in a worst case scenario.
Second: This is a classroom, so things work pretty well in here. On the street, it is a different matter. Things won't go as easily in a real situation, so our goal is to teach you to adapt and work the problem successfully.
Third: We want you to discover the techniques that work for you. Not everything we demonstrate works for everybody. One size fits all does not apply. If a technique is going to work, you need to be familiar with it.. Our program is designed to get you comfortable and confident in what you can and cannot do.
