"One system, all weapons."

Join us on the first Saturday of the month for a 3-hour training experience that goes beyond “empty-hand self-defense.” In ALIVE! Core Skills, you’ll learn how to safely and responsibly use knives, pistols, and your own body as tools of self-defense in real-world situations.

What To Expect:

• Beginner-Friendly, Adaptive Pacing
  No prior training required. Each session adjusts to the group so newcomers can learn safely, while experienced students get deeper application and resistance training.
• Practical, Weapon-Integrated Training
  We don’t just show you how to block attacks — we teach you how to apply knives, pistols, and empty-hand tactics as part of one integrated self-defense system.
• Rotating Topics
  Every month follows a spiral learning plan built around the seven most common personal defense scenarios (e.g. being approached by a stranger, fighting from the ground, close-range firearm encounters). The exact focus adapts based on the group that day.

Who It’s For:

• People seeking practical skills that go beyond basic “punch and kick” classes
• Martial artists ready to integrate weapons into their training
• Preparedness-minded individuals (outdoor enthusiasts, firearm owners, travelers, parents)
• Anyone wanting realistic, scenario-based self-defense training

What You'll Need:

• Comfortable clothing with a belt
• We provide all knives, training pistols, and safety gear.
• But you are welcome to bring your own!

Each month we will broaden your combative skill set in the knife, pistol, and empty hands disciplines.
