Unfortunately in today’s society physical and sexual assault’s are all too common. Too many females always think “ohh it’s not going to happen to me”.

Well what if it does?

As a parent we do everything in our power to to protect our children. We teach them right from wrong, raise them to be good people, and guide them to make the right choices.

The older they get the less we are able to watch over them and protect them as they gain more independence and head off to take on the world themselves. We ask ourselves did we do everything we could to make sure they are ready, did we prepare them well enough, could we have done anything else?

At Infinite we have such a tight community, we even call it our IF FAMILY. That is why we partnered with Regiment Training Center to bring you

Self defense is more than just physically fighting back against an attacker. You’ll improve your awareness, assertiveness, and verbal self defense skills. These non physical strategies empower women to recognize potentially unsafe situations and stop attacks in early stages. 

You’ll learn quick, effective physical tactics to help stop or delay an attack so that you can escape the situation. We emphasize a less is more philosophy by focusing on multiple repetitions of basic techniques. 

Instructors:

Brian Raposo: Brian has over 20 years experience in martial arts and is currently a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate. In addition to having taught self defense classes over the past several years, Brian currently trains martial arts enthusiasts as well as amateur and professional fighters at Regiment Training Center in Fall River, MA. 

Yorgan Decastro: Yorgan is currently an undefeated professional fighter in the UFC heavyweight division. He has a strong background in amateur kickboxing and has also worked for several years in the security field where he uses both verbal and physical de-escalation strategies when confronted with irrational and violent individuals.
