The self awareness we teach is a combination of verbal, mental and basic physical techniques together with a few simple rules allowing you to deal with the most common self defense and awareness situations with the sole intent of keeping you safe.
Also being aware of the environment around you both within a building or outside in open spaces, night or day.

The key to self-defense is not brute force but quick thinking and good decision making. Armed and unarmed combat is the advancement for self-defense. Where you have to deal with a situation on a physical level, again where brute force is not always the victor but choosing the right technique to use when you need it and deals with the aspect of an aggressor threatening you.
