The S.A.F.E. WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE PROGRAM
SEXUAL ASSAULT FUNDAMENTAL ESCAPES COURSE
REAL SELF DEFENSE IN ATHENS, GA
LINKING SELF DEFENSE TO SELF DEVELOPMENT
Would you be able to defend yourself and your loved ones if someone were to physically attack you?
It’s a question most of us don’t want to consider, but violence is, unfortunately, a fact of life. Thankfully, regardless of strength, size, or previous training, anyone can learn effective self-defense to prepare for and stay safe in common real-world violent situations.
Most Martial Arts schools claim to teach Self Defense but the vast majority try to adapt competition techniques to apply to real street situations and these two concepts are actually worlds apart.
At American Black Belt Academy, REAL Self Defense is the foundation of everything we do and our training programs have an unequaled focus on effective personal protection.
Currently reality sport competitions completely misrepresent the essence of what self defense really means. REAL self defense needs to come from REAL experience; our academy's owner is a retired Army Master Sergeant and Special Forces Combat Veteran. Randy McElwee has a unique background of qualification and experience.
ATHENS' ONLY AUTHENTIC GRACIE
Jiu-Jitsu for self defense as intended by it’s founder Grandmaster Helio Gracie.
If you are interested in a highly effective and comprehensive system of standing and ground defense techniques using the application of leverage to defeat larger, stronger opponents then Jiu-jitsu is the answer.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the United States Military and self-defense system for law enforcement agencies all around the country. It is a proven and powerful fighting system, designed to be used against armed and unarmed attackers.
American Black Belt Academy is an Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu Global Federation Certified Academy featuring Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu jitsu Association Certified Instructors.
Many Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA schools present techniques in complete randomness and use new students to be training tools for veteran competitors, focusing on winning competition and advancing the name of the school. This approach leads to a high new student drop out rate and frequent injuries. These instructors blame the student’s lack of discipline and athletic ability.
