Here's how Paul describes his unique approach:

“At Self-Protection Solutions, I focus on providing you with a fully-customized toolkit of skills and information that will allow you to feel confident, avoid danger when possible, and protect yourself as necessary. We will work together to develop a lesson plan that is unique to you, your lifestyle, and your individual goals and abilities. Then, I will help you achieve those goals through a series of custom training sessions.”

Our Method

Our teaching method is a unique blend of various forms of martial arts and experience Paul gleaned from his training as a police officer. He applies this method to develop an individualized lesson plan for you that ultimately will give you your best strategy to stay safe and protected.

Your unique lesson plan will include:

• Tips and strategies to avoid danger.
• Mental tools for getting your mind prepared to handle an unsafe situation.
• Physical self-protection training, using a variety of martial arts styles.

If you're also looking to improve your fitness level, he can incorporate that goal into your training.

Some of his past students have included employees who need safety strategies for their jobs, recreational runners looking to feel more secure out on the road, and moms and dads who want tools to protect their family if the need arises. He also has worked with members of law enforcement and security personnel to provide occupational training.
