BE AWARE. BE SMART. STAY SAFE.
Peaceful enjoyment of our freedoms, and the protection of our well being is our Right. We should fight for these, but we must fight smart…
It certainly makes a lot of sense to look to the fighting arts for knowledge about defending oneself. It’s true, substantial self defense benefits will be derived from intense martial arts study. This is something that naturally develops over time and with great repetition.
For most people however, simply overpowering an antagonist will not be primary in a realistic and reliable self defense philosophy. Nor is a physical conflict usually the smartest way of staying safe. Thus, good self defense training has become a very distinct topic within the fighting arts. Learning life habits to protect yourself from danger must include additional perspective beyond traditional martial arts or karate training. Many of IOK’s instructor ranks are experienced experts in the field of self defense.
If you, or a group you know of is interested specifically in Self Defense classes, please email Billy G. at bgio@bangzoom.com or any one of IOK’s other senior instructors about the possibility of arranging special classes or a seminar for your group. You will find our rates are very reasonable and the combined knowledge available within IOK on this subject matter excellent. You may also want to visit South Shore Safety.
