Dangerous in a Day
(Six-Hour Saturday Event)
ONE-DAY TRAINING
Personalized instruction for beginners and returning clients.
The perfect starting place for new clients looking to be “dangerous in a day,” this course will get you up to speed with enough hands-on practice to make you baseline effective at causing debilitating injury in violent conflict.
This is a “one-and-done” course, meaning we train you with the expectation that we’ll never see you again — and that you’ll have to use the information as soon as you walk out the door. We will train you the same way we have trained our family members — you’ll come out of this class with valuable experience and a new life skill.
This is also a great option for experienced clients who are looking for the occasional refresher. You’ll improve your old skills even as we work on new ones, and you’ll walk away with six more hours of “range time” — more than ready for the five to 15 seconds it actually takes should you ever have to use it. We’ll also give you direction for how to work at home until your next session.
If you’re interested in ongoing/instructor-track training, but don’t live in San Diego or can only train once a month, these Saturdays are just for you. All Six-Hour Saturdays are included in our Live Training Membership, making that the perfect once-a-month option. We currently have people who travel from the Bay Area, LA, Vegas & Phoenix for these events, and all of them are progressing toward instructor certification.
Each Saturday event is six hours of intensive, hands-on, instructor-led mat time, arranged in four 90-minute sessions:
I 10 - 11:30 am New person orientation, mat time / experienced client warm-up, mat time
II 11:30 - 1 pm New person mat time / regular Saturday class (weapons & multi-man work)
1 pm - 2 pm Lunch
III 2 - 3:30 pm Mat time; Grabs, Holds & Chokes
IV 3:30 - 5 pm Mat time, personalized instruction
Dangerous in a Day: This option secures your slot in the Six-Hour Saturday event of your choice.

Matt, and his trainers were top notch! I was impressed by the following: their seriousness, professionalism, kindness, approachability, and their ability to calibrate according to each individuals needs and questions. Also walking away from the day, I am much more confident that if I ever got in a fight that was initiated by the other, I would be able to fight with way more confidence, skill and impact. My entire world view has shifted on how to react and act if ever in a dangerous situation !

The training is top notch, 5/5. The perspective shift clarified what I needed to understand between rules based and street fighting. Praying that I never have to use the learnings and will “be the problem” if I do. Great format and teachers!

The 6-hour session day was an absolute blast and very impactful for my learning. I loved the environment. A big thanks to the instructors who provided such an informative and powerful day for myself and everyone else who attended. Thank you SO MUCH! Ive never felt stronger!

10 stars!
They are amazing. I am a small woman in stature and not much strength. They make it all seem possible. Great team and support from all the trainers and the lessons were extraordinary. I will be recommending my sisters and my nieces as well to join and do this. This is a must to teach how to protect themselves and others they love.

My wife and I took the course together. It was outstanding. They get right to business to teach you close up hands on training that may someday keep you alive. We both loved it and are still talking about and walking through the basics we learned. These are skills we want to ingrain into our mental “muscle memory”. I am taking again with my college bound son. My teenage daughter will follow when it’s her time.

FANTASTIC!. This course was recommended to us by friends. Initially, I thought that it was only if you had trained in martial arts for years, could you learn anything useful. However, this is a completely different way of looking at ‘self-defense’ and as a mother with a young baby/very practical and easy to remember. We will be back because the class was interesting and fun (can you believe it?!?!) and the guys are very gentle and great, effective instructors. THANK YOU!!!

I took the class for the second time and I brought my 19 year old son who is just starting college. This second session for me was even more valuable than the first. My son was a bit hesitant as to why he would need to learn these survival skills. But after working with these instructors for the day, it all made sense to him and he was very happy he took the time. He left with some techniques that could save his life and a great perspective of where this fits, and does not fit, in his young life.
