Self Defense training tailored to suit your needs
A single self defense program does not accommodate the diversity of needs/abilities of all who desire self defense training. SMAA offers two unique and distinct sets of self defense (1 - Evade and Escape; 2 - The Layers of Physical Assault) that cater to the two extreme approaches to self-defense training, and everything in between.
The predominant approach to self-defense programs (which we offer) is to focus on nullifying and controlling the perpetrator. This type of program is geared for law enforcement, military, and security personnel. However, the vast majority of the population is not interested in subduing an assailant.
1 - Evade and Escape
Most people want to learn how to avoid violence, minimize risk of personal injury, escape and survive. Our Innovative Evade and Escape Self Defense Program has been designed for anyone interested in learning a continuum of techniques that is relatively simple to learn and apply in order to be better prepared to address violence with greater confidence.
