We teach the skills to confront real world threats. We practice in realistic settings and teach concepts and impov skills to defend and control random attacks, in simulated scenarios and places of everyday life, ie. (pubs, streets, parks, cars, toilets, mass transit, homes, buses, passenger planes).
The C.A.I. method is a practical system of self-defense. All angles and positions are designed to make it easy to perform the best control method at the highest speed even for a sudden attack.
Improvisational Self Protection Weapons: Many traditional martial arts are trained using old traditional weapons. For example, sword, nunchaku, tonfa, spear, bow. This training is fine as a hobby, but not a self-defense technique. None of these weapons are carried around on a daily basis, and many are not allowed outside the dojo. Even knives cannot be taken onboard planes and trains when traveling.
However, there are many potential self-defense aid weapons that are legal and available most places.
For example, ink pens, magazines, keys, umbrellas, canes, shoes, chairs and many more.
These items we call “improvised self-defense weapons”.
We teach how to use these everyday items to protect yourself functionally in multiple scenarios..
ONLINE: Beginning in 2023, our Improvised Weapons Courses will be available online.
Also, Our Special Short Program Self-Protection certification courses will be available online.
