Q: My child’s karate class already teaches self defense. What is the difference between this program and what my child is already enrolled in?
There is no doubt that after school activities are important but for parent's who desire solution oriented physical activity with fun, learning, and a partner in parenting we encourage you to explore the youth program at Shaan Saar Krav Maga!

What is trauma informed self defense™ ?
Being mindful of physical and social emotional safety
The catch phrase trauma informed has become widely popularized and just because someone has a therapist or social worker attending a self defense event does not make the program trauma informed.
Oversight is crucial but providing a comprehensive, evidence-based methodology and protocols for managing emotional safety of those individuals working through a healing journey is deeper than that.
