We believe that all self-defense systems and martial arts have value.
We teach modern self-defense concepts at the Modern Self-Defense Academy. Focusing on self-defense principles, rather than just the techniques, lets us blend, adapt and redefine concepts from several martial arts and self-defense systems into a comprehensive, specific and complete self-protection system.
The concepts approach lets us design, evolve and expand our system to meet the self-defense needs in today's society, and to suit each individual student, learning important lessons from all systems, instead of trying to force the student to follow any one specific system.
