Self defense Class

We don’t like to admit it but there are some streets in Park Rapids that we would rather not walk down alone at night. Usually, the thing to do is just avoid these places, but sometimes trouble comes to you. When it does, it is best to be prepared. Bretz Tae Kwon Do and Self- Defense Safety Solutions is here to give the people of Park Rapids the tools they need to protect themselves when they need too.


When the adrenaline is pumping it can be very hard to think clearly. This is the primary focus we have when teaching. We are going to teach you something that you hopefully will never have to use, but if you do, then we want you be able to pull out this new skill set with ease. That is why we created a course specifically to prepare you in case of an assault.


Self Defense Safety Solutions has designed its self-defense course by boiling down different techniques into their key components that build on one another . These components are then connected with specific situations so that you gain the necessary knowledge to handle almost any circumstance. Our goal is that when situation X arises, you will counter with Y.

A reason

" Being able to protect yourself in all situations is a confidence booster as much as it is a reassurance. "

SELF DEFENSE SAFETY SOLUTIONS:

Self-defense is a serious subject but this is not the army, it is a classroom and we try to have fun while learning. Even the strongest building can’t stand on a weak foundation. That is why we support each other in class; to create a solid foundation for our students to stand upon. Come and meet likeminded individuals, engage with other members of your community, and have some fun. If you have any questions about the self-defense classes we provided the people of Park Rapids then please feel free to contact us.

You need NO previous Martial Arts training to participate in this program.  Prior training is not a bad thing; however you need to be open to new theories and new techniques.  There are MANY more self defense techniques than the ones taught in this course.  The techniques taught in this class highlight each other well and are very simple to learn and practice.
