Self-Defense

The World is Dangerous – Are you prepared?

Those of us that live in Oxford County have a false confidence that crime doesn’t affect us. But as the economy continues to deteriorate, crime increases everywhere, and once sleepy bedroom communities like Woodstock and London are quickly getting a reputation for being dangerous.

This workshop suits men and women of all ages and all fitness levels. This exciting workshop teaches the most practical self-defense techniques anyone can use to protect themselves from assault. No fancy and useless joint locks or kicks, these techniques were developed to be taught to the blind that is so easy and effective you could defend yourself even in the dark.

Self Defense was developed by Stefan Verstappen, who created the self-defense techniques taught to the blind, women, and children.
