Personal Safety Program
The S.L.A.M Personal Safety Program (S.LA.M. PSP©) is a series of Self Defense
workshops designed to improve Self-Confidence, Mental Awareness and Physical
Conditioning. In addition, our personal safety program also teaches proven defense
techniques from three common 'Attack Ranges'.
S.LA.M. PSP© Introductory Course covers attacks
launched from what is known as “LUNGING Range”
(the preferred range of Bullies, Thugs and Petty
Crimnals). This Medium Range or “Shoving”
distance is where the victim is Poked, Pushed or
faces a Grab Attempt. - $30
*Requirements - None
S.LA.M. PSP© Intermediate Course deals with personal
safety in the “SNATCHING Range” - Close or “Trapping”
Range where the victim, after being Grabbed, faces a
Slapping or Punching Attack. (It is at this “Snatching”
range where Child Abuse/Abduction, Domestic Violence
and Gay “Bashing” often occurs). - $40
* Requirements - S.L.A.M. Introductory Course
S.L.A.M. PSP© Advanced Course focuses on assaults in the
“GROPING Range” - (Very) Close or “Grappling” range where
the victim is likely Pinned, Chocked, or taken to the ground. (This
is the preferred range of the “Sexual Predator” and is usually
where Sexual Assault, “Date” Rape and Child Molestation
occurs.) - $50

3. Self Defense Class
Description/Schedule
Kenpo Karate
"Law of the Fist and Empty Hand"
A uniquely unorthodox fighting system, Kenpo is
commonly described as part Boxing, part Kung Fu
and part Jiu-Jitsu. Most noted for its extremely brutal
techniques, Kenpo's effectiveness lies in its use of
natural body mechanics, unconventional strikes and
economy of motion. Factors which make this
(American) fighting system ideal for anyone desiring
to learn self-defense.

Arnis de Mano
“Harness the Hand”
“Arnis”, a generic term that refers to a class
of martial arts from the Philippines, is a
weapons-based fighting style where the use of
edged, impact and improvised weapons, opens
the door to a myriad of 'empty hand', 'trapping'
and 'gunting' (limb destroying) techniques.
The student learns that a knife, club (or even
an umbrella) is not just a weapon but an
extension of the hand. And by applying this
core principle you'll discover that the motion
of the hand and the path of the weapon is not
only similar but also interchangeable.

Tai Chi Chuan
"Supreme Ultimate Boxing"
In today's health conscious society, most Tai Chi
practitioners use this seemingly “gentle” martial
art to “fight” anxiety, fatigue and stress. But
hidden within the movements, postures and
breathing of Tai Chi Chuan is an extremely
formidable method of self defense. Also known as
“The Gentle Art”, Tai Chi Chuan was developed
for the express purpose of prevailing in combat
with lethal efficiency. Combined with the holistic
aspects of this martial art, Tai Chi Chuan is not
only a devastating form of self defense, it also
promotes balance, improved circulation, better health and mental clarity.
S.L.A.M. Academy offers Tai Chi 2x per week (Tues & Thurs). Sign up today
Self Defense Classes are $75 per month * $90 per month for any two * $100 per month for all three
