Moving away to college is a new chapter in life that includes the potential for bad, even tragic, experiences. The safety and familiarity of home and family no longer apply, and statistically, you WILL face situations that need a trained response in order to best survive, whether that means emotionally, psychologically, and even physically. This ‘interactive’ seminar helps lay the foundation for self defense at college. We hit hard on the principles you will need to protect yourself, beginning with ‘Situational Awareness’ and ‘Conflict Avoidance’ – knowing how to assess real or potential conflicts and danger, and how to respond. We teach you how to know when conflict or violence is unavoidable, and how to ‘click the on switch’ and respond with effective aggression to end threats to your safety. These workshops have increased the confidence of thousands of participants. Training on a REGULAR BASIS is the best. But, at a minimum, invest in yourself or your child to equip them with the right mindset and tools we provide at the College Prep Self Defense Seminar. This seminar is for men or women, either in college or pre-college, heading to college within the next year. NOTE: You may also participate by Zoom if you prefer - you'll need a partner to join with you at home (though you only need to register yourself). Email us to let us know after you register. COVID-19 UPDATE: OUR STUDIO IS SET UP WITH “TRAINING SPACES” WHICH ALLOW STUDENTS TO BE 6-10FT APART FROM ONE ANOTHER. YOU CAN TRAIN TOGETHER IN A TRAINING SPACE WITH A “SAFE” PARTNER SUCH AS A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND, BUT YOU WILL HAVE NO CONTACT WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS. DOORS OR WINDOWS ARE OPEN DURING CLASSES AND SEMINARS, WITH FANS FOR FRESH AIR, HAND SANITIZER STATIONS ARE AVAILABLE, AND STRINGENT CLEANING PROTOCOLS ARE FOLLOWED. WE RECOMMEND THAT EVERY PARTICIPANT REGISTERS WITH A “SAFE” PARTNER IN ORDER TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE SEMINAR (FOR STUDENTS, THIS CAN BE A FRIEND, SIBLING - 13 AND UP - OR PARENT.)
