Welcome to the Headquarters of the Samurai Cop Self-Defense Academy. The Academy offers classes in self-defense for kids ages 7 years to 17 years of age.
The goal of the Samurai Cop Academy is to provide practical self-defense training for the youth in our communities. The courses are designed to help increase the students self-confidence level while learning to arm themselves with the knowledge and personal skills needed to be better prepared to face a physical confrontation.
A MUNIO Self-Defense Workshop is a great way to learn how to be safer and better prepared if you are confronted with the threat of a potential violent or sexual assault confrontation that threatens us all.
The name MUNIO (moon-yo) means, "I defend" or "I protect" and that's exactly what it can do for you and your loved ones. Don't be a victim, be a survivor!
This 2-hour non-martial arts workshop combines a self-defense education and hands-on practice using the MUNIO Designer Self-Defense Keychain, a unique, attractive and effective personal safety accessory. Working hands-on in simulated attack scenarios, such as grabs, chokes, hair pulls and much more, you will learn and practice easy, natural and effective ways and methods to use MUNIO that can rapidly disable an attacker and help you to escape safely and unharmed.
