Students are taught the importance of respect and self-discipline, challenging their bodies and minds. This is a comprehensive program that deals with “street” awareness, avoiding strangers, and self-defense. Be aware of your surroundings, avoid trouble, if you get into trouble—get out of it, if you can’t get out of trouble—get out of it anyway!
