"I've always believed that everyone has the ability to learn to stay safe and protect themselves from assault. Personal Safety is not the same as Self Defense, people often assume that these terms are synonomous. Personal Safety is about learning the skill sets necessary to reduce risk in your life and lower your profile as a potential victim of crime. Self Defense should be the insurance policy for when Personal Safety is not enough, not the goal of training."
