Frequently asked questions:
What is the difference between
streetwise safety & traditional
martial arts?
This program was designed exclusively to meet the needs of
women and children of all ages, shapes & sizes.
Unlike some traditional Martial Arts systems, which incorporates
many good self-defense techniques, they require many hours
of training to achieve tactical skills, but may not be practical
for the street. Streetwise Safety is a complete program that
teaches you all of the fundamentals of protection in a realistic
time frame. We also make sure that each participant/student
establishes a basic proficiency level in each aspect of the
program that the knowledge & skills they gain can be used in
real life situations, should it occur.
