Well yes, but we are talking about learning how to deal with potentially life threatening encounters here. Over the years I've studied Karate, Jujitsu, Muay Thai, Systema and more recently Krav Maga and each has something unique to offer, but who has the time to learn several martial arts? The system Brian is teaching condenses the best, most effective techniques from a myriad of different martial arts into one system that gets right to the heart of the matter; namely - recognize the threat, deal with it, and get the hell out! And if you're thinking brutal self defense system must mean brutal training, then don't worry; Brian's classes are very safe, relaxed, and even fun! You won't be going home covered in bruises, sporting a black eye, though what you will take with you every time is a little bit more knowledge and expertise that might one day help save your life! Cheers, David Brian Copeland's self defense class is awesome! I love this class because it's based on how to react to real world danger that most of us are completely unprepared for. While I learned a lot, the program is surprisingly simple; no difficult moves that need a lot of strength or skill to do. Best of all, you can tell that Brian is truly passionate about it. His teaching is clear, concise and easy to follow. I'd pretty much recommend that EVERYONE learn these skills because you’ll never know when you’ll need them! Especially moms and daughters!
