Principles Of Defense

Kyoshi has taken the principle’s learned throughout his martial arts training and created The Principles of Defense (P.O. D’s) workshop series which focuses on kids bullying workshops, women’s self-defense workshops and young men, Compliance control workshops. He has facilitated these workshops with organizations such as; The girl scouts, various Sororities’ Fraternities and Guttman College in Manhattan New York. These P.O.D.’S capture the fundamentals of the martial arts through drills and awareness. This class is devoted to creating (with the student) scenarios that develop the awareness, strength and proper reaction time needed to neutralize physical and mental threats. In this class we focus on your personal fears. We then access these fears with the right tactics and principles. We focus on quick escapes and practical methods of evasion, and neutralization.

I love to empower people with the ability to defend themselves and not just teach a technique but principles. With the principles a student is able to make their own technique according to their comfort level of applying.
