This course is for men only. Students will learn how to take an active role in their own self-awareness and defense. The first half of the course is scenario based instruction about the potential, possibility, and likelihood of specific grabs, chokes and holds. Instructors will teach students how to punch, strike and kick with proper form using maximum power and delivering maximum damage to an attacker. Students will gain confidence in their ability to defend themselves from a standing, kneeling, prone, or on their back defensive position.

The course is 3 hours and we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and tennis shoes since there will be physical activity. We recommend bringing water.

Men must be 14 years or older. Anyone between the ages of 14-18 must be accompanied by a male parent or guardian. No women or children are allowed to attend or observe this course.

Prices vary by location

Class maximum of 20 attendees. Course cost includes free handouts and informational packets to reaffirm classroom instruction.

There will be hands on street self-defense drills which will require physical confrontation. The use of protective gear including bags and padding are used for close quarter's battle striking drills so students can learn how to properly strike with full force and experience realistic response. Instructors always take into consideration age and physical condition and keep the safety of the student first and foremost.

These techniques are not to be used in any fashion other than self-defense. CIAT is not responsible for injuries or death to oneself or any other person resulting from use of tactics taught in this course.
