Upcoming Workshops/Seminars
1st October 2016 - Women's only RBSD Workshop (Level 1 - Fundamentals)
Reality Based Self-Defense Workshop
Reality Based Self Defense refers to systems of self defense that focus exclusively on reality based self defense scenarios and conditions. Hence the words "reality based." Unlike martial arts, reality based self defense is not a hobby or sport and it does not participate in tournaments or sport combat competitions. It's all about learning how to avoid, de-escalate, escape and, if required, to fight.
What Makes a Reality Based Self Defense System?
For a system to be considered "reality based" it must only focus specifically on pragmatic solutions to modern day violence-based problems. Each and every tactic taught in a reality based self defense system must be practical. What follows are just a few essentials that will be covered at the workshop:
Here are some photos from the last fundamentals workshop in May

About Roan
Roan Theron’s experience as trainer/instructor, years of martial arts training (training and national and international competitions) is backed by years of experience where he had to apply his skills while working as a close protection officer on high-risk contracts and venue security officer at some of South Africa's most notorious nightclubs in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. In 1997, Roan’s first reality-based self-defence school opened in South Africa, and evolved into the Personal Protection Academy (PPA) doing extensive consulting and training work for the South African Police Services and the close protection and 'safer door' community in South Africa. Before emigrating, Roan trained with Rodney King (Crazy Monkey Defense founder) and then opened his own Crazy Monkey Defense gym when he arrived in New Zealand. Subsequently he relocated to Melbourne and still training with others in the city to keep his own game up.
