Why Self-Defense for Mental Health?
The mental health benefits of learning self-defense include:
Increased self-esteem. Feel better about yourself by expanding your skillset.
Enhanced emotional regulation. Learning to regulate your emotions in a fight is key to thinking clearly.
Stress relief. Physical movement and the mind-body connection are great stress reliefs.
Sense of purpose. Protect yourself, yes, but also protect others. There’s no higher purpose than that.
Self-acceptance. Learn to accept your body type, limitations, and abilities to maximize what you have.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
The self-defense system I teach is Martial Blade Concepts (MBC), founded by Michael Janich. It is by far the most simple, comprehensive, and devastating combative system I’ve had the pleasure of learning and anyone can learn it.
The beauty about MBC is it integrates seamlessly with empty hand techniques, gun fighting tactics, and contact distance weapons. Instead of learning 25 different techniques against a certain attack–that probably hasn’t been “pressure tested” but rather believed to work–with MBC you’ll learn a few techniques that apply to 25 different attacks. We flip the model on its head to keep it simple to learn yet extremely effective.
WHAT IS MARTIAL BLADE CONCEPTS?
MBC is a comprehensive self-defense system geared toward the responsible citizen who wants to learn to fight with the knife they carry. What distinguishes MBC from other self-defense systems is its envelopment in a legal context. To that end, MBC focuses on bio-mechanical targeting, otherwise known as “stopping power,” which is the ability to stop an attack immediately and repeatedly to prevent further harm to you or others.
WHAT IF I DON’T CARRY A KNIFE?
Just because you don’t carry a knife doesn’t mean you’ll never get attacked by one. Moreover, MBC’s sister component Counter Blade Concepts (CBC) offers just that: an empty hand version to counter edged and contact distance weapon attacks.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
I only offer private individual or group training at this time. If you’re interested in a seminar, please contact for details.
Additionally, while I believe in training the way you fight so you fight the way you train, I also believe in training smartly. To that end, NO LIVE BLADES are allowed. TRAINING BLADES ONLY. If you don’t have any then I will provide some.
