PHASE 1

SENSHIDO'S PERSONAL PROTECTION PROGRAM
Enhancing Survivability and Gaining the Tactical Edge

Have you ever been attacked?
Have you ever been sexually assaulted or raped?
Have you ever felt violated or threatened?
Maybe mugged, beaten or placed in a violent confrontation?
Have you ever felt like you were no longer in control?

Senshido's Personal Protection Program is designed to enhance your survivability. You will learn to heighten your awareness and accurately read your intuition in order to avoid violence, aggression and confrontation. You will learn to de-escalate and defuse a potential aggressive or violent situation using psychological warfare and strategy. You will also learn to physically defend yourself against the most common attacks on the street if avoidance and de-escalation failed.

Senshido's group class programs are divided into 3 PHASES.

• PHASE 1 - The Personal Protection Program
• PHASE 2 - The Hand to Hand Combat Program
• PHASE 3 - 2 Day Boot Camp "The Zombie Squad"

The Personal Protection Program will teach you the following:

• Strategies and Tactics
• Awareness and Intuition
• Psychological Warfare
• Behavioral Elements
• Reading Body Language
• Recognizing signals of aggression and violence
• Reflexive Response Conditioning
• The Shredder™
• Senshido's 5 Principals of Physical Retaliation™
• Opportunity Interception
• Ground fighting
• Close Quarter Combat
• Defense against the most common attacks

The Training: Unlike most self-defense training, Senshido's Personal Protection Program factors behavioral elements and environment into all drills and scenarios. It's one thing to learn and practice in an open controlled space in bare feet and loose pants, but most assaults do not happen under these conditions. They happen in closed small spaces like elevators, bathroom stalls; in bars, pushed up against a wall; while you are wearing regular pants, tight skirts, high heels, boots, backpacks etc. It is these realistic conditions which Senshido re-creates and participants prepare for.

Some of the scenarios Senshido's PPP incorporates in their training and seminars include the following:

• Date Rapes
• The Street fight
• Bus Stop
• In parks
• Elevator
• Staircase
• Carrying bags
• In car & carjacking
• In bed
• Bar scenes
• Exiting club bathroom
• Metro/Subway
• Being mounted or straddled
• Mouthed off at
• ATM
• Static knife and gun attacks
• Movie theater
• Muggings

These scenarios & environments, and more, including participant's suggestions and actual "lived" scenarios are covered extensively and in their entirety. Senshido will take any on the spot scenarios and break them down for you in order to find the best possible solutions for that particular scene.

• Confrontation analysis also available.

Senshido uses "bad guys" role players in mock attacks which participants defend against in all scenarios. Applying what is taught, participants immediately experience and realize the abilities within themselves. Our "bad guys" wear only head and groin protectors, allowing them full range of motion and speed as well as reacting the way a real aggressor actually would, making the scenario as realistic as possible.

• Clients having previously been through violent confrontations or sexual assaults are interviewed, counseled and prepared beforehand.
