Practical Defense Where You’re Most Vulnerable
About This Course
Every day, you get in and out of your vehicle multiple times. At the gas station, in parking lots, sitting at stoplights, pulling into your driveway.
It’s routine. It’s familiar. It feels safe. But these are also some of the most common moments where people are distracted, stationary, and vulnerable.
Most self-defense training assumes you are standing, aware, and able to move freely. Inside a vehicle, none of those advantages exist. You are seated. You are restricted. And any threat is already at close range. Despite how much time we spend in and around vehicles, this environment is almost never addressed in traditional training.
This one-day, hands-on course is designed to change that.
You will learn how to fight effectively inside and around a vehicle using empty hand techniques, edged weapons, and firearms (simunition-based), with a focus on practical skills that apply to real-world encounters.
Whether you are commuting, transporting your family, or driving for a rideshare service, this course will give you the tools to recognize threats early, respond effectively, and manage a situation where space, time, and options are limited.
This is not a sport-based class or a choreographed system.
It is reality-based defensive training designed for everyday adults.
If your training does not include one of the environments you are most likely to be attacked in, you are leaving a critical gap in your preparedness.
This course is designed to close that gap.
