Tom Patire's Personal Protection Course
PERSONAL PROTECTION FOR EVERYONE
We are authorized by Tom Patire to teach his personal protection courses. His courses cover the two critical components of staying safe. First, educating ourselves on how and why bad things happen so that we can avoid them. Second, hands-on personal protection training that gives all participants the confidence to handle those situations when they arise.
Tom Patire’s award winning courses include:
Know & Go teaches children to create a window of opportunity to prevent an attempted child abduction. The goal is not to make a small child think that they can beat up a much stronger attacker. Rather, we give them the skills and confidence needed to delay the abduction for two minutes (research shows that after that period of time the attacker is more likely to withdraw to avoid being caught).
Training for Life gives real world information on who is most likely to try to harm us and when they are most likely to try. We also includes a hands-on portion which turns day to day movements such as turning a key or knocking on a door into simple and effective techniques directed to vulnerable areas of the body with the goal of stunning the attacker to create a window of escape. The techniques can be done by almost anyone regardless of size, strength or physical ability. Again, the goal is not to give the participants the skills needed to beat someone up but to get twenty feet away from the attacker so that escape can be achieved.
"After taking this course our girls gained a new sense of awareness and more confidence in themselves." - Wayne & Anna S. (read more)
As part of Tiger Rock and Tom Patire’s commitment to promoting safety in our communities, these courses are offered at a group rate of $50. Ideal size is between 5 and 30. This is a great value for a youth group or team, coworkers, a girl scout troop, a Sunday school class, or any social or service organization. We can teach them at our Academy, a workplace or other location. Please call or email for more information and available times.
"This program has helped me to become aware of my surroundings and to know my own capabilities." - Christina S. (read more)

"The class was fun, informative and communicated that we all have the power and the right to defend ourselves against anyone who might intend to harm us. Kudos to Overstreet Tae Kwon Do Academy!" - Kim L. (read more)
