Most people think self-defense is about techniques.
It’s not.
Violence is fast, chaotic, emotional, and unforgiving.
You don’t get time to think.
You don’t get warnings.
And hesitation gets punished.
What fails people in real encounters isn’t lack of strength…it’s lack of structure under stress.
U.N.A.R.M.E.D.™ gives you a repeatable, pressure-tested framework for navigating violent encounters with clarity and purpose.
Not to “win.”
Not to dominate.
But to recognize danger early, disrupt the attack, and get out safely.
This system teaches you how to think before, during, and after a threat…so your actions make sense when it matters most.
U → Understand the Threat
Read intent, distance, angles, and pre-attack indicators before contact happens.
N → Neutralize Forward Pressure
Disrupt momentum early. Control space. Prevent force from building.
A → Angle Off the Line
Step, pivot, and move where the attack is not. Create blind sides.
R → Regain Position
Restore balance, posture, and structure so you stay upright and functional.
M → Move to Safety
Self-defense isn’t winning—it’s disengaging and escaping when possible.
E → Evaluate Continuously
Scan for weapons, accomplices, and environmental dangers.
D → Decide and Act
Indecision creates vulnerability. Commitment creates opportunity.
