The Center For Practical Self Defense was established for and is dedicated to providing individuals, small groups, and Military/Law Enforcement agencies with the ability to establish, enhance, or supplement their present combative mind and skill set. We instruct our student in the use of awareness, and also the principles necessary to recognize, analyze, and ultimately defend/survive against modern aggressor/s in many contemporary/realistic settings using both armed and unarmed training methodologies.

CPSD's training methods are rooted in Classical (Combat) Jujutsu and Kali-Eskrima (Filipino Fighting Methodology), in addition to a diverse array of personal experiences in street survival/self defense/self preservation. The ability to carry a weapon does not mean you can effectively fight with a weapon, nor does it mean that you understand how to defend against a weapon without training it its use properly. Self Defense is a lifestyle not something that is learned twice a week, don’t let anyone fool you on this point.

CPSD emphasizes the use of quick reflexes, sound training methods, and a calm mind as the tools for true self-protection. It is not always a good idea to use physical tactics; your mind is your greatest weapon. If you use your mind strategically along with proper tactics, you should never have to physically defend yourself in the first place. CPSD 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.

CPSD will work with you should tuition/finances be a deterrent to starting your journey into the martial way. As it has been in the past and will always will be the case in the future, the first class is Free to observe and participate provided the attendee come with the proper mentality and attitude. Acquiring effective defensive, offensive, combative, armed and unarmed fighting skills is serious business, which requires serious training. Street survival is not an accident! It is an acquired cultivated skill.

If you are interested in learning to defend yourself in the face of a hostile aggressor or multiple attackers, please contact Okuiri/ Guro Rudy Franco via email rudy@centerforpracticalselfdefense.com or at (909) 234-3015 for more information on training schedules and tuition costs for group classes, seminars, and private instruction.
