This is a straight forward, bare bones, approach to street defense for the average Joe or Jane needs to know to stay safe in today’s society.
Predators target who they see as weak and an easy mark… we teach our older students ways to protect themselves and change some preconceived notions that criminals may have. Some of these classes include the use of a cane or other stability support devises.
We teach younger students to tap into their intuition & listen to their inner voice about people and places that make them feel threatened.

Hello World!!!! So I hesitantly took Robert Thomas's self defense course the reason for my reluctance was that I wanted practical information and I didn't want to be limited by the learning curve that many of the martial arts require. I have to say Robert's class was jampacked with practical information and tactical moves that are easy to apply and duplicate. I want all of my loved ones to master the techniques, and to experience the instruction provided in tonight's lesson.

My daughter and I just completed four sessions. It was a wonderful experience and we learned many valuable skills. Robert and hs assistants were great to work with. They taught us physical moves, explained the rationale and shared personal insights. Before deciding to attend Tsunami Self Defense classes, I researched a couple other options. I am extremely happy I selected Tsunami They surpassed all my expectations!! I highly recommend them and I look forward to attending more sessions in the future.
