Hanshi has taken the principle’s learned throughout his martial arts training and created The Principles of Defense (P.O. D’s) workshop series which focuses on kids bullying workshops, women’s self-defense workshops and Compliance control workshops for young men. He has facilitated these workshops with organizations such as the Brooklyn Public Library, various Sororities’, Fraternities, and Mocha Moms Queens Chapter. These P.O.D.’S capture the fundamentals of the martial arts through drills and awareness. These classes are devoted to creating (with the student) scenarios that develop the awareness, strength and proper reaction time needed to neutralize physical and mental threats. In this class we focus on your personal fears. We then access these fears with the right tactics and principles. We focus on quick escapes and practical methods of evasion, and neutralization.
