Self-Defense skill is a part of a good education and the precious children we love so much shouldn't be without the skills they need to keep themselves safe. Every child should know how to recognize danger, steps to avoid it when possible, and when not, the technique to fight back.

Far beyond the traditional scope of self-defense or traditional martial art systems, the KDT system teaches situational awareness, self-preparedness, threat domination and physical recovery in the form of first aid.  Not only will you be given the education to avoid a potentially violent encounter, but, when needed, KDT empowers you with fast and effective techniques designed to end a threat rather than engage in an exchange with a predator.

This program will develop not just situational awareness but, critically, situational wisdom and technical self-defense skill. They will learn how not to be a victim and develop the know-how and reflexes they need to protect themselves.

All equipment will be provided by the instructor. Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing and shoes suitable for movement and activity.
