Why Most Self-Defense Training Fails

Most programs look good…but fall apart when stress hits.

  • Crash courses that feel like aerobics
  • Too many techniques to remember
  • Training that ignores how people actually react under pressure


Real threats don’t wait. They don’t fight fair.
And theory alone won’t help you when it matters.

What works?
Simple, direct skills you can learn quickly and practice consistently.

That is exactly what this free series delivers.
