REDZONE Reality Based Personal Protection

Co-Ed Urban Self Defense

With the Jim Wagner Reality Based Personal Protection system as a foundation, REDZONE provides reality based training that incorporates the Tony Blauer - Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) program as well as Israeli KAPAP techniques. Learn life protecting techniques and change your life by opening your eyes to the dangers around you, giving you situational awareness, and instilling self-confidence that will stay with you for a lifetime.

REDZONE provides a no nonsense approach to personal safety with the goal to teach our students to Detect, Defuse and Defend confrontations in the quickest possible time. This is not a martial arts course, but rather a practical, effective and easy to learn style of Reality Based Self Defense.

The material taught at REDZONE Reality Based Personal Protection includes how to deal with Personal Self Defense emotionally, psychologically and physically.  In addition you are taught how to avoid confrontation through verbal de-escalation / choice speech drills. Our instruction includes the psychology of an attack and how to deal with it emotionally, psychologically and physically. Most self defense courses ignore the first two aspects and just focus on the physical side of self defense.

Fundamentals Program

The Reality Based Personal Protection self defense program begins with the Fundamentals where you learn how to defend yourself in the three fights everyone encounters; the fight against yourself (self doubt); the fight against the attacker; and the fight against society (reporting to police, testifying in Court, Post Traumatic Stress).  The Fundamentals Program consists of 10 hours (a minimum of 5 weeks) of training.  After completing the Fundamentals program the student  will have enough information and ability to detect, defuse and if need be, defend themselves in the most common, potentially dangerous situations. 

In the Fundamentals self defense program you will learn:

-         Basic fighting and self defense techniques that have been proven to work in real life;

-         Mental and emotional conflict conditioning that will promote you to access your primal strength and courage and learn how to direct it against your attacker

-         Instinctive body mechanics of “controlled violence”;

-         The psychological and physiological effects that take place when under duress and how your perception and fine motor skills are affected;

Intermediate Program

The next level of self defense training, the Intermediate Program, reviews the information learned in the Fundamentals Program and continues to refine and build upon the student’s ability to defend themselves in virtually any, potentially dangerous situation.  The Intermediate Program is 40 hours of training.

Advanced Program

The Advanced Program reviews all the material from the Fundamental and Intermediate Programs then continues to refine build upon and enhance the student’s capability to defend themselves and their family.  The Advanced Program is 80 hours of training that consists of a review of the material presented in the Intermediate Program with additional, advanced instruction.  Upon completion of the Advanced Program the student will be highly skilled in dealing with defensive tactics, knife and gun survival, ground survival, improvised weapons and urban situational survival.

Maintenance Program

Just like taking First Aid training, Reality Based Self Defense is a perishable skill set.  This means that although you will remember your training when and if the time comes; if you do not practice or refresh your training, you will forget a large portion of what you learned.  Maintenance Training is on-going self defense classes where you can come and train as little or as often as you like for a monthly membership fee.  In addition you will be able to assist with facilitating the training which helps to continue to acquire knowledge and cement what you have already learned. 

As a bonus, any students who continue in the Maintenance Program will be first in line for any new and advanced training as well as being entitled to discounts on seminars and workshops.
