The Center For Practical Self Defense is dedicated to providing individuals the skills, awareness, and techniques necessary to defend themselves against modern aggressors in contemporary, realistic settings. The Center's training methods are rooted in classical (Combat) Jujutsu and Kali (Filipino Fighting Methodology), in addition to a diverse array of personal experience and other orthodox and unorthodox fighting methods and techniques.

Quick reflexes, sound training, and a calm mind are the tools for true protection. It is not always a good idea to use physical tactics, your mind is your greatest weapon. If you use your mind correctly, you should never have to physically defend yourself. The Center For Practical Self Defense teaches the mental tools required to avoid becoming a victim or statistic, as well as the physical skills needed to defeat or escape a physical attack should the worst case scenario transpire.
