Coming soon
Stay tuned!
Good evening! We are planning to host a Basic Self-Defense Course in Lingle toward the end of May. We have seniors graduating from high school, and we want to help them be prepared for their next chapter by offering them self-defense training.
Though this course was developed after considering the safety of our area's young adults, everyone of all ages is welcome to attend. Best of all, we are going to offer this class for FREE because we were hoping you could get to know our business and what we offer!
The Basic Self-Defense Course is an entry-level course designed to educate students to develop situational awareness, recognize threatening behaviors, respond to threats, and deal with the aftermath of an incident. The goal of this course is to enable students to apply what they have learned to recognize a threat, avoid a threat, confront a threat, and survive a potentially life-threatening encounter. Students will learn various self-defense strategies and tools available to them and the legal implications involved with use-of-force incidents.
We will get registration information out as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
Where it all began
It all begins with an idea.
One afternoon, Jeremy and I were traveling home after a work function and talking about some of our dreams and aspirations. Through our conversation, we revealed that we both have sheepdog mentalities, meaning we are always looking over our flock.
“Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident. Then there are the wolves, and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. Then there are the sheepdogs, and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” – Grossman, David. On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. Boston, Little, Brown, 1995.
Jeremy and I share that same ethos; we “live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.”
After concluding that we wanted to make our homes and our community safer, we decided to team up and create a one-stop shop defense and training agency that teaches critical lifesaving, life-preserving, and self-defense skills.
Thus, JACL Defense was born.
