INPOWER - Fundamentals of Personal Security

"It's good to have a lifeguard, but it's better to know how to swim." - Sam Rosenberg

The world can be a dangerous place, and while personal security is a fundamental human need, ultimately it is an individual responsibility. In the moment of truth, the “lifeguards” of society simply won’t be there to protect us. We are, in effect, on our own.

Yet violence is never random. As even the most desperate predator is careful in selecting his victims. And “bad guys” of all types - from the street criminal to the workplace shooter always follow a predictable continuum of behavior the elements of which can be identified, in advance, by easily spotted “indicators” - if you know what to look for.

This unique workshop teaches how to recognize when you might be in danger; avoid and deter threats; and how to decisively respond physically to defend yourself if you have to.
