Certification / Recertification (in-house only)

staff, students, and any others who wish to be certified in CPR by the
American Heart Association.

year periods.
Women’s Self-Defense
The Women’s Self-Defense program is a two-pronged class:
Empty Hand: Self-defense is
taught by way of escapes instead of escalation. We teach a series of moves
from common positions that work without aggravating the assailant. In this
way, the target escapes, while the attacker’s ego is kept in check, thus
avoiding serious injury from retribution.
Weapon: Self-defense is taught
using the short-stick (Kubitan keychain). The weapon delivers an immense
amount of pain to assailant from any position, while still utilizing the
methods of escape in the Empty Hand method.
