Who We Are – Personal Safety for All

Personal Safety, LLC embodies the idea of bringing professional-grade, 360-degree personal safety and self-defense training to anyone who wants to learn to protect themselves and their loved ones with definitive results. Historically, training that is behaviorally researched and field-proven has been the province of professionals only – elite military, law enforcement and security personnel. Our mission is to bring these same skills within your reach and to enable the resulting transformation of your quality of life.

Our inter-disciplinary expertise enables us to research and simplify overarching principles that represent the most adaptive response to known problems. These principles are ultimately based on human physiology, the psychology of conflict and the laws of the society we live in – not in mystique or pseudo-science.

You Are Included

You may be a working professional who wants more confidence walking the big city streets, a student of martial arts who wants to get past the sport into real-life application, a real estate agent who meets strangers in vacant houses, a police officer who wants to go beyond defensive tactics training, or a woman in a difficult relationship. You may be an executive who travels frequently on business, a worker in a hostile environment, or an ER doctor who deals with people at their worst. Or you may be none of these people. But what you have in common with them all is a need for a fundamental understanding of personal safety – and corresponding habits and skills to see you through whatever you may face today and tomorrow.

In an increasingly more dangerous world where the pace of change itself is accelerating, we can no longer rely on others alone for our safety. We are here to empower you to take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of those around you.

"It is clear that a great deal of thought went into the training methodologies used. The talking part introduces the concept with stories, down-to-earth examples and a lot of non-intuitive, alternatively thought-provoking, entertaining and shocking information. Then the particular skill is demonstrated and broken down step by step. Then you perform, and the performance itself becomes more challenging each time, but at a manageable pace."

Managing Fear: Expect a Better Life

Understanding, managing and channeling fear is an integral part of all that we offer, since fear is present in most all situations requiring personal safety skills. Deliberately working with fear leads participants to greater self-knowledge, and many report inspiring examples of oblique learning – measurable benefits in business, personal relationships and beyond. Considering how much of life is about overcoming overt and latent fear, significant side benefits should come as no surprise. Training that specifically and scientifically targets fears we all share – and instills the most adaptive responses – is likely to enhance the quality of your life in powerful and meaningful ways.
