Educational Purpose Only

All material is provided for educational purposes only. It is not legal, medical, tactical, or psychological advice. We do not prescribe or direct how you should respond in any given situation. Real-world violence is volatile, high-risk, and unpredictable. You are solely responsible for any actions you take based on this material.

Voluntary Participation and Assumption of Risk

Engaging with our content is entirely voluntary. You understand that:

• Physical training carries the risk of injury (e.g., joint/muscle injuries, falls, impact trauma)
• Self-defence training may trigger emotional or psychological responses
• Simulated or described violent encounters may be intense or graphic

No Guarantees of Outcome

We provide frameworks, principles, and training guidance — not assurances. There are no guarantees you will succeed, prevail, or avoid harm in a violent encounter. Self-defence is highly situational, and outcomes are influenced by numerous factors beyond your control.
