Take 'em down--the brutal close quarter self-defense of petter and paschen
INSTRUCTOR: Tim Ruzicki ROOM: TBA
DESCRIPTION: The nature and methods of close quarters self-defense have not changed much over the course of human history.  Assaults occur today much as they have for centuries, with the same potentially devastating results.  While self-defense systems have evolved to accommodate the specifics of their time, they share some fundamental elements -- elements wonderfully illustrated in the works of Johann Paschen and Nicholas Petter.    This course will explore the close quarters self-defense material found in these masters' works, specifically focusing on what can be learned and utilized immediately.  Students can expect to leave the class with an array of simple tools designed to provide maximum efficiency in close quarters self-defense situations.    Equipment: No special equipment is needed for this class.    Pre-Requisites: All skill levels are welcome.
