Our Philosophy: Escape, Fight, and Protect
Over the years, we’ve discovered that different people have different aspirations when they set out to learn self defense. Some want to escape a hostile situation, while others aim to fight back or learn to protect their loved ones.
We’ve found that the best way to teach self defense is to help people achieve their personal objectives rather than assume that everyone comes to class for the same reasons.
Whether it’s for practical defense purposes, to become fitter and more confident, or to master fighting technique, we believe that self defense should be accessible to all.
That’s why we created an advancement system with three levels and three different achievements in mind.
The Third Gate Defense System is informed by elements of Krav Maga, boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai, designed to accomplish student ambitions at any level and ability.
Come train with us, and learn to Escape, Fight, and Protect!
Escape
Level One (Escape) gives students the tools to escape a multitude of situations. A student can choose to remain at this level or advance.
Fight
Level Two (Fight) provides students with the ability to transition to offensive self defense techniques should the need arise.
Protect
Level Three (Protect) teaches students to neutralize dangerous threats and effectively protect others.
