StreetSense programs are unique. We teach only simple, effective and proven Self Defense concepts and utilize Kinetic Linking to ensure that even small individuals can protect themselves from attack.
We have conducted extensive research into Reality Based Training and the Adrenal Stress Response and why it should be a factor in every Self Defense course. StreetSense utilizes Reality Based Training to teach you how and why attacks actually occur.
Many Self Defense courses are taught as a martial arts class. There is an enormous difference between Self Defense vs. Martial Arts . We utilize case studies and our years of experience as Peace Officers to teach you about the physical, psychological and emotional componets of violence. Then we show you how to survive potentially violent situations with simple, effective and proven Combatives.
We will show you how to use pro-active Personal Safety measures to reduce the risk of you or your family becoming the victim of crime. We also teach you the concepts of Target Hardening , Mental Toughness and Personal Risk Management and Mitigation.


Let's set the record straight. There is no such thing as "Women's Self Defense" or "Men's Self Defense". There is only Self Defense period. Everyone needs access to Personal Safety and Self Defense training to keep themselves safe. The facts speak for themselves, men are just as likely to become the victim of violence and crime as women. We could all use a better Crime Prevention strategy. It is the type of circumstances and ways men are attacked that often differ. Our Padded Assailant training provides men with an opportunity to learn to overcome the Adrenaline Response.
Statistics indicate there were over 304,000 violent crimes in Canada over the past several years. This means on average 1/850 Canadians will become a victim of violent crime in any given year. These are not good odds.
What's the solution? We need to train to recognize, assess and react appropriately and defuse potentially dangerous situations. Our programs teach the Personal Safety and Self Defense skills that accomplish this.
