Our Weapon Defense class is for male and female students of all skill levels (beginners and up) who are serious about learning how to defend themselves and their loved ones in real world situations. This course will primarily focus on dangerous scenarios in which an adversary may have access to a weapon (knife, baton, handgun). Over the day we will:
*Study the effects weapons have when used in attacks.
*Assess the cost/benefit of a decision to react (fight, flight, freeze, comply).
*Learn techniques which are effective in disarming or debilitating committed assailants.
*Perform drills in a realistic setting and evaluate realistic consequences.
Threat Scenarios’ hand to hand classes focus entirely on practical and responsible use of force. Our objective is to open your eyes to the reality of what can occur during a fight, whether it takes place in your home, at the convenience store, the gas station, or the park. We will show you how to best stay safe when confronted by an attacker, even if it means running as fast as possible in the opposite direction.
Weapons defense is a controversial topic because each option has varying degrees of effectiveness. For example, fighting a person wielding a knife will likely result in you getting cut. In this context, we will help you develop a strategy for choosing when to fight and choosing how to fight.
