Q: WHAT IS SELF-DEFENSE?
Self-defense is a set of awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist, and survive violent attacks. A good self-defense course provides psychological awareness and verbal skills, not just physical training.

Q: DOES SELF-DEFENSE WORK?
Yes. Self-defense training can increase your options and help you prepare responses to slow down, de-escalate, or interrupt an attack. Like any tool, the more you know about it, the more informed you are to make a decision and to use it.

Q: MUST I TRAIN FOR YEARS TO LEARN TO DEFEND MYSELF?
No. A basic course can offer enough concepts and skills to help you develop self-protection strategies that you can continue to build upon. It does not require years of study to perfect. 

Q: IF I USED PHYSICAL SELF-DEFENSE COULD I GET HURT WORSE?
The question to answer first is what does "hurt worse" mean? Rape survivors speak eloquently about emotional hurts lasting long after physical hurts heal. Studies show a physical self-defense response does not increase the level of injury, and sometimes decreases the likelihood. Also, people going along with the attacker have sometimes been brutally injured anyway. The point of using self-defense is to de-escalate a situation and get away as soon as possible. Knowing some physical techniques increases the range of possible self-defense options, but the decision to choose a physical option must remain with the person in the situation.

Q: AM I TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD? OUT OF SHAPE? WHAT IF I HAVE SOME DISABILITIES?
You don't have to be an athlete to learn how to defend yourself. A good program is designed to adapt to every age and ability and provides each student with the opportunity to learn. Each individual is unique and students should be able to discuss their own needs. Some programs have specialized classes for specific groups.

Taking a self-defense class is one of the most positive acts anyone can do for themselves! "National Coalition Against Sexual Assault by the NCASA Self-Defense AD-HOC Committee"

NEWS...NEWS...NEWS

Please be aware, since 2000 I have not certified anyone to teach Real Aikido system at any belt level outside of my academy.

I have not given permission to anyone to use my name, Real Aikido name in any form of advertising or to promote themselves or their school.

I am making this public announcement because others have been advertising inside and outside their schools claiming to teach Real Aikido system and to be brown belt or black belt instructors under me.

If there is any doubt if an instructor is really the rank they claim to be, or if  that school is authorized to have Real Aikido system, ask to see their original certificates signed by me and embossed with my corporate seal.                                                                                                  Feel free to contact me personally with any doubts or questions.

PLEASE READ THIS ...

...Although many people interpret aikido as a passive style, high-ranking aikido instructor Steven Seagal disagrees. "Aikido's fundamental goal comes from the original martial arts concept: to kill your opponent," notes Seagal, who lived in Japan for 15 years and studied at aikido's headquarters dojo (training hall) in Tokyo. "All of the mental and abstract spiritual benefits are acquired from this base. You must have the capacity to kill and be able to cut off all attachments to life in your mind to be able to give life."
Seagal also emphasizes that Real Aikido is extremely dangerous. An untrained individual does not know how to fall or go with the throws. In actual combat, the untrained would surely break their joints, back or neck...
