Neutral Ground Academy Self-Defense Program

Program Overview

All lessons around safety prioritize the structure of growing personal power in listening to one’s intuition and assessing personal needs, communicating boundaries and creating action plans to prevent safety situations , along with knowing the legalities of utilizing physical means of de-escalating altercations with another person.

Providing techniques that improve how students demonstrate confidence in physical, mental and emotional areas that create daily practices to enhance awareness of not being “unsuspecting” ; which prevents many common safety situations. Along with how to handle extreme altercations when confronted by someone with ill intent.

These lessons work at the personal pace of the students and are based on the foundation of making everyone feel comfortable with the content and providing a space for those that may be triggered by the themes of this type of work. It is her mission to help anyone grow in the areas that they are willing to work on and there are no expectations for participation; anyone of any background can observe or interact with the class.
