Everyday Self-Defense Tips

Self Defense Tips As you may imagine, I get a lot of questions from folks about how they can be safer “right now.”  Especially these days, people are more-and-more aware of the fact THEY are responsible for THEIR safety… nobody else. 

Back to [Martial Arts] School !

Why Train?As we are now in the “back to school” season, it’s a natural time of year for people to get “back” to doing physical activity.  Why do you want to train or exercise? Grab onto the first answer that came into your mind.

What is the value of your health?It has been said that one of the most valuable things we possess is our health.Let’s face it, today more than ever, health is a topic of concern. We take precautions to avoid exposure to others and to mitigate our risk of contracting disease.

This is a question that everybody should be able to answer with a resounding, “Yes!”  As times are changing, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that there is one person responsible for your safety.  That person… is you.  As a professional martial arts instructor, and a former police officer, I often talk with people about safety.
