Zen Dragon Martial Arts - Crown Hill

SpecialtiesSelf Defense is about more than learning to kick and punch. We teach our students that the best way to win a fight is to avoid it and that we should use physical force only as a last resort. Universal students learn three approaches to Self-Defense: ESCAPE - Avoid the Danger Students learn to avoid situations where trouble is likely to occur and to recognize trouble before it starts. CONTROL - Defuse the Situation Using the ability to talk your way out of trouble is an important skill for the Kempo Student. When necessary, the use of the controlling techniques such as finger bends, wrist locks, arm bars or pressure points to prevents trouble from further escalation. DESTROY - Defend against a Violent Attack If forced to defend himself or herself, the Kempo student will be able to use their skills and physical conditioning to avoid being injured. When forced to use a physical defense, the Kempo student will utilize the escalating scale of Escape, Control, or Destroy (last resort).
