Safety Through Skill: Training for Real-World Self-Defense.
Meet Rich & Kristin
Hello! My name is Rich.
I became a police officer to protect people, however, I usually arrived at a crime scene after the damage was done.
Having served in a myriad of different communities, from tough inner cities to elite institutions, people taking advantage of one another was a common denominator.
I encountered many individuals who could have avoided being victimized if they only had basic awareness skills and self-defense training.
My goal is to train people to protect themselves, using basic techniques that can be used when confronted with a life-threatening situation.
I respect all martial arts; however, this is not martial arts but purely self-defense-driven.
Kristin and I provide the training together and she brings her life experience as a woman to the program. As much as I may try, I can never fully understand the concerns and potential threats faced by women.
When Kristin became a mother, her protective instincts really kicked in! Kristin decided to join me as a certified instructor with the radKIDS Personal Safety Empowerment Education Curriculum so that she could not only protect our children but as many children as possible. Now having completed the radKIDS curriculum themselves, our children Daniel & Julia are mentors to the 5 to 7-year-old’s,
We hope to have the opportunity to train with you and your family!
