The Five Ds of Self Defense

In this free course, An-shu Stephen K. Hayes and his Shihan Kai master instructors guide you through the five stages of a conflict. These foundational principles are an important first step on your journey toward Black Belt.

In a real self-defense scenario, there are no rules and the intent to harm is unlimited. There is no time limit, there is no matching of size and weight categories. This is not sportsmanship, this is a predator attacking prey. Self-defense is often unexpected, potentially confusing, and possibly deadly.
