Basic Description
The curriculum for this program is a 4 hour presentation involving mild physical participation, and includes lectures on the many aspects of dealing with a violent altercation. The program does not focus so much on prevention as its scope is to deal with what happens when all preventative methods have failed, and you are faced with no other choice than to physically confront an aggressor. The program also deals with breathing patterns that assist in keeping the body calm during stressful situations involving conflict.

Participation
This workshop does not involve padding up or the striking of immovable surfaces such as heavy bags. Instead, in a non-competitive way, the participants use each other’s bodies to learn and identify vital and vulnerable components of human anatomy.

Lectures
The lectures deal with in depth discussions on the nature of social violence and its counterpart, asocial criminal violence. We focus on what the difference is between the two, and how to identify each. Lectures also deal with fear, perception, and breathing during times of conflict.
