The Program
Skills That Work When Adrenaline Hits
Sport technique is beautiful — but self-defense must be simple, gross-motor, and repeatable under stress. That's why this program centers on a short list of high-percentage tools: wrist and clothing-grab escapes, clinch control, palm strikes, knees, and safe falling. We drill them against resisting partners, not cooperative ones.
Every block ends with pressure-tested scenarios: low light, loud noise, multiple verbal distractors. You'll leave knowing what you can actually do — because you've already done it.
