Training beyond physical technique
"We learned a lot about personal safety. It was fun to be able to practice some new techniques and not just hear or read about what you could do or should do. Hopefully, none of us will ever find ourselves in a situation where we would have to use any of the maneuvers that you taught us. But it sure is nice to have the extra knowledge!"
— The Forest Lake High School Cheerleaders
About This Program
StreetWise is designed to give the student real life scenarios and responses. StreetWise utilizes our unique Five-step Approach to Personal Safety. This enables our graduates to avoid trouble altogether rather than to simply be taught how to respond to it physically.
The fact of the matter is that the best self defense is not ever becoming involved in a violent confrontation in the first place. This program addresses not only those situations that you can control but also what to do when faced with those random acts of violence situations that sometimes are unavoidable.
Five-Step Approach to Personal Safety
Anticipation
Thinking about and preparing your environment to prevent an attack in the first place
Recognition
Seeing the potential for danger and avoiding it
Negotiation
Verbal skills to defuse confrontations before they become violent
Evasion
Escape techniques to remove yourself from danger
Response
Physical techniques when confrontation is unavoidable
StreetWise for Women
It has been estimated that as many as one out of every four women in this country will be attacked or raped by the time she reaches her mid-20's. In addition, women are especially vulnerable to the negative, overpowering effects of fear. So, not only can a physical assault rob them of their lives, but just the fear of it happening one day can rob them of living a happy, successful life. Many are afraid to venture out of their homes at night.
This is why we have designed this intensive course specifically for the unique self defense needs of women in today's society.
StreetWise for Students
StreetWise for Students is designed specifically to meet the diversified needs of today's schools and students. Public polls have consistently found that the fear of violence in school is at the top of the list of concerns for our children. This program deals with those unique sets of circumstances as well as all the other StreetWise topics.

"The class has helped me see how unprepared I was to avoid a dangerous situation and how some simple techniques can help me stay safe."
