Everyone deserves to feel safe as they go about their life. Still many of us have, at one time or another, experienced a threatening situation that has made us feel as though our personal safety has been compromised. For those that have not had this experience, we hope you never do. However, statistics show that random crime is on the rise and it's a wise choice to educate yourself on how to stay safe.

Milan TKD offers personal protection courses for those interested in taking charge of their personal safety. Random acts of violence are not limited to any one group, so seniors, college students, men and women alike are encouraged to participate. You don't have to be in perfect shape or be an expert in the martial arts to know how to protect yourself. Anyone can learn self defense through a well-taught program, and Milan TKD can provide this for you. In fact, many of our Tae Kwon Do students take this course to supplement their martial arts training.

Class sizes are small, never exceeding 15 people, to ensure personal attention for everyone. Courses are 6 weeks long and it is highly recommended that you adjust your schedule prior to registration so as not to miss a class. Each class builds upon the previous one and attendance is critical to truly understand the material discussed in class.

Some may feel that 6 weeks is not a sufficient amount of time to truly learn to protect yourself. This is both correct and incorrect. Six weeks is indeed a short period of time to gain the confidence you may wish to have to protect yourself, but like checking the oil in your car or the battery in your smoke detector at home, maintenance is the key to feeling confident over time. For the short term, we can teach you awareness, prevention, risk reduction and provide hands-on training on how to take care of yourself. Every little bit of a well-taught class can help you on the road to feeling safe. However as we stated earlier, we do many things in our lives to maintain our safety. Refreshing what you have learned and continuing your education in personal protection is the key to truly feeling confident in your safety skills.

Many courses offered today are based on fear. The program at Milan TKD is not at all like this. It is not meant to scare you. Our personal protection courses are meant to EMPOWER you! They are meant to teach you that you are worth fighting for. We focus not only on decisive techniques to defend yourself, but the psychology and mental preparation required to know you are a capable individual. It is never to late to learn how to stay safe.
