- Real Self Defense Center accommodates all ages (child to senior), all skill levels (beginner to advanced) and all fitness levels (out of shape to athletic). All students participate at their own pace and level.
- Real Self Defense Center is an evolutionary system. The material and training is constantly evolving toward truth in combat. We are open to and experiment with other systems and methods of training. We also act as an information and resource center for inquiring students.
- Real Self Defense Center continually evolves towards functional skills and relavent practical training. Functional personal protection skill and combative fighting are first and style is second. All skills and drills are alive and empirically tested.
- All training is done with "Aliveness". That means with a resisting partner. All skill development is done SAFELY with isolated, gradually harder resistance. This is the only way for the student to empirically test what will work for them. It also enables the student to troubleshoot any tactics they have trained on.
- Real Self Defense Center trains for what is most probable and likely to happen first, and that which is possible second.
- Real Self Defense Center trains with the motto "Core is more / less is more" We train to perfect core strategies and tactics, which are adaptable to any variation or deviance of physical confrontation and violence. It is better to perfect a few tactics to be used in most situations than 500 techniques forgotten in battle.
