STREETWISE
THE COMPREHENSIVE SELF DEFENSE PROGRAM
StreetWise is a unique
self defense course developed by world-renown self
defense expert Jim Mather. The StreetWise program, and
its suite of specialty modules, was developed using
the copyrighted 5 Step Approach to Total Self Defense
to give the student the necessary skills to prevent
trouble from arising in the first place, defuse a
potentially dangerous situation, escape an assault or
buy time until help arrives or can be summoned, and
increase the chances of escaping an actual assault
with minimal injury.
How StreetWise works
StreetWise is an 8 hour self defense training course. This comprehensive
self-defense program is based on 5 key principles -
Anticipation, Recognition, Negotiation, Evasion and
Response. While most self-defense programs are
teaching physical techniques, Mr. Mather created a
principle-based system that enables the students to
use their most powerful weapon - the mind. This
enables our graduates - unlike those of most other
self defense courses - to avoid trouble altogether
rather than to simply be taught how to respond to it
physically.
How StreetWise works for you
You can
use StreetWise - or any of the StreetWise modules - as
a stand alone program to take out into the community,
into the work place, or into the schools. Imagine the
income you can generate from a single contract to
provide self defense programs for any large corporate
client's employee base.
You can
use StreetWise as a method of drawing potential new
students to your martial arts school. Host StreetWise
workshops at your school, offer it as a community
education program or to church groups. At graduation
offer a discount at your martial arts school to train
on a regular basis. Imagine how much income can be
generated for each new student who joins your school
after a StreetWise program and stays for a year, two
years, three years.
You can
train your top students to teach StreetWise and have
them do the legwork of finding new markets for
StreetWise in your city with you retaining a portion
of the student fees. You can be as active as you wish
- giving update seminars to your students, closing the
sales with new clients, assisting with the classes,
etc. or as hands off as you wish - just over see the
programs. Imagine how much income you can generate
from having a motivated sales force bringing
StreetWise to corporate clients and community groups
while at the same time generating potential new
students for your school.
How StreetWise works for the students
Public
polls have consistently found that the fear of
violence is a top concern of most Americans today -
and with good reason. The U. S. Department of Justice
believes that five out of every six people in this
country will become the victim of at least an
attempted violent crime.
The famous
Chinese general Sun Tzu, author of the classic The
Art of War, said that the greatest general is not
the one who can defeat 100 enemies in 100 battles.
Rather, it is the one who can control things so well
that the need to fight never arises. We agree. Each
of our courses utilizes our copyrighted Five-step
Approach to Total Self Defense. Although this
approach emphasizes ways to prevent an assault from
occurring in the first place, avoidance is not always
possible. So, we also supply our graduates with the
self defense tools they should need to survive an
assault with minimal injury.
One of the
major flaws found in most self defense courses is a
total absence of realism. Good street fighters are
effective because they possess the experience
necessary to stay calm in an actual encounter. Yet,
students in most self defense courses learn their
skills in totally non-threatening, non-realistic
situations. So, when the real thing arises, it is not
surprising that many, if not most, freeze-up.
StreetWise is one of the only self defense programs to utilize a
fully padded mock-assailant to simulate a real
assault. This allows our students to practice
defending themselves in a realistic, yet safe and
controlled, environment.
StreetWise Main Program
Our StreetWise program combines key principles
from classical martial arts, modern sport psychology
and proven success principles to lay the ground work
for each of our students to know the proper course of
action in handling conflicts in their lives. The
Streetwise Program utilizes our unique Five-Step
Approach to Personal Safety. These five steps enables
our students, unlike those of other self-defense
courses and martial arts programs, to avoid trouble
altogether rather than to simply be taught how to
respond to it physically.
This unique approach begins by first
creating an awareness of various precautions which a
person can take to greatly reduce the probability that
trouble will arise in the first place. Second it
teaches awareness skills which allow a student to spot
potential trouble before it can fully develop,
enabling him or her sufficient time to take logical
preventative measures instead of reacting to a
situation emotionally. Third, it teaches negotiation
skills, which a person can use to defuse a possible
assault. Fourth, it teaches how to evade an attacker,
both mentally and physically. Fifth, it teaches a
unique multi-level approach to self-defense, which
enables a person to respond effectively, and with a
minimum of force, when a conflict can't be avoided.
Again, the emphasis is always upon avoidance because
this offers the safest and most sure way of dealing
with any threat. |
