Description

Specialties

Note: Please also read the filtered reviews, they are all people who have taken the workshop or done individual sessions. I have no idea why Yelp filters like they do, but it’s really annoying to have someone take time out of their day and say something positive about your business only to have a computer algorithm nullify their voice.

Realistic, effective self-​defense utilizing the SPEAR System. Learn how to use your body’s natural reaction to danger and your own physiology to withstand and overcome an attacker. We use real life scenario based drills that actually work. The SPEAR system isn’t a martial art or a «style» of fighting, it’s the science of human movement as it relates to fear, aggression, and violence.

Workshops are typically held the last Saturday of every month from 12−4pm at South Congress Athletic Club!

History

I had a wonderful time taking the PDR workshop taught by Jaimy. It’s always a little scary to learn something new in a group setting, especially something as intense as self defense, but Jaimy (and his lovely assistant Shane) made sure everyone met each other right off the bat and set an easygoing tone for the day.
Every skill we learned was demonstrated multiple times before we tried it out on our partners, and some of the moves, honestly, seemed like magic tricks. I couldn’t believe how incredibly simple some of the techniques were at holding back or bringing down a man very literally twice my size. There were a few other small girls in the class, and once we all got comfortable with the skills, we were able to use them on other people in the class, regardless of their size.
The best thing about this is that it was so simple to learn and followed a very basic logic, and I feel like I’d instinctually turn to these techniques without much thought if I were ever in a dangerous situation. I am recommending this to all the women I know.
