A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

I am proud to be given the chance and opportunity to be able to go within the Community and help teach valuable life skills of personal safety, conflict avoidance, de-escalating skills and physical self defense techniques for maintaining safety.

Back in high school, I myself was a victim of violence. This led me on a path of gaining confidence and the skills necessary to prevent this from happening again.

I started learning Tae Kwon Do which led me on a journey to competing worldwide, winning a world title, receiving my 5th degree black belt (Master) in Korea and joining the Canadian Armed Forces where I learned tactical training for non-violence conflict avoidance and last resort techniques. These events were all from me taking charge within my life.

There is absolutely nothing more rewarding than hearing stories from the students I have taught, about how what they learned might have saved their lives.

“The students are always engaged and leave the classes with improved confidence and a better understanding of self-defense principles'“.
