Can THIS Happen To You ?
 

More than 200,000 CRIMINAL cases were reported
in Malaysia in 2006*.
Statistically speaking,
an average of 8.5 WOMEN were RAPED daily.
6,000 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE cases were reported.
1.65 PEOPLE were MURDERED daily.
18,000 cases of UNARMED ROBBERY, 5716 cases of
ASSAULT and 9551 cases of SNATCH THEFT and 42343
cases of VIOLENT CRIMES were reported.
(Fast forward to the current year.. the crime rate would have increased by leaps and bounds, basing on current social fears...)
 

Imagine walking to your car one night. Without warning, from out of the shadows, a stranger with a knife pounces out at you! In that split second, what are you going to do? How will you respond? Will you be so gripped with shock and fear that you 'freeze', just like a deer in the middle of a dark road with the glaring headlights of a car bearing down on it? And what if your loved ones were with you? How will you defend them then? 

Your life, and that of your loved ones may well depend on you knowing some form of self protection!
The Initiative Is Yours!

SELF DEFENSE IS KNOWLEDGE!

Our Methodology of self defense and self protection aims to provide you the answer in the way that we know best. This is NOT a martial arts class or a kung-fu or karate system, even though we do teach you physical martial skills in protecting yourself. Our lessons are based in and around our A.R.M. Philosophy (which is to "Avoid", "Respond" and "Minimize"). 

   
These are just some of the benefits YOU will gain from our classes :-

>> Use Verbal Assertiveness Skills To Diffuse Any Potential Threat Before Things Get Ugly. Avoidance at all cost is our primary intention!

>> Learn To Be Aware Of Your Surroundings And Improve Your Peripheral  Vision To Avoid And Sidestep Potentially Life-Threatening Situations.

>> Learn How To Handle And Break The Adrenaline Rush, A Natural Body Response In Times Of Fear And Anxiety That Causes You To "Freeze"

>> Develop A Strong Self Confident Image And Posture To Eliminate The "Victim" Mentality. After all, communication is 10% vocal and 90% body language.
 
>> Adopt Simple And Easy To Learn Gross Motor Skills For Effective Self Defense Techniques

>> Develop An Automatic Response By Exploding Your Self Defense Techniques In The Face Of Imminent Danger but using "Stun & Run" tactics

>> Experience Full Impact Reality Based Training By Going Full Force On Our "Bulletman" Protective Suit. This Will Enable You To 'Feel" An All-Out Attack With Out Injuring Yourself or your 'Attacker'.

>> Learn To Use "Every Day" Objects As Self Defense Weapons When The Need Arises

>> Identify Weak Points Of The Body That Can Bring Down Any Assailant.

>> Discover how you can handle multiple attackers

>> And because it will be impossible to teach you everything in class, you will be enrolled in our email list so that we can email you valuable and important self defense information and news to keep you up to speed on your learning process.
 
WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY.....
"I find training very informative and helpful, especially with the crime rate today. It has given me self confidence to know at the very least, I can do something to defend myself  should the need ever arises. At the same time, I really enjoy the good workout"!
Low Geok Khim
 
"Eric's self defence class has been great in teaching me about the different aspects of self defence - starting with using my head and instincts to avoid potential attacks and recognise potential threats that I can't avoid. I'm learning to size up potential situations, keep my wits about me and quickly figure out what to do to. You can't read or watch a video about stuff like this - it's the simulation, regular practice and workouts that are building up my confidence, strength, flexibility and smarts to protect myself. As a woman only 5ft tall, I can tell you that it's not just bravado either - it's the confidence to make the quick decisions and the ability to act on them, that can protect you from getting hurt and perhaps even save your life."
