Reading about self-defense or even practicing self-defense in a controlled, safe environment is not the same as actual use.

In an actual situation the increased adrenaline in your system will create internal physical changes altering your responses. Adrenal stress causes tunnel vision. With tunnel vision you lose your peripheral vision and can only focus on a small area at a time. Another side effect of adrenaline is auditory expulsion - your hearing shuts off. A loss of motor control is also associated with adrenal stress. You may feel like you can't run or even scream. The truth is, you don't know how you would react in a situation until you have experienced it.

In Martial Arts, we can simulate this kind of training using a "woofer" or specially trained aggressor in a RedMan suit to simulate situations. The training is age specific and will be included in special classes. Students will practice avoidance, and learn to use tools such as voice and body language. Full contact physical techniques can be applied as a last resort against the assailant with the aid of the RedMan suit.  The classes will address different scenarios such as stranger danger, bully basics, inappropriate touch, date rape, abuse and abduction.

Redman seminars are FREE for all White Tiger students and offered on a regular basis.
