This isn’t one of those self-defense classes where you learn a few moves that look good in a demo but fall apart the second someone actually grabs you.

This is the real thing.

For three days, Sergio Ignacio will be teaching practical self-defense built from 33 years in law enforcement, specialized tactical units, real operations, and decades of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Sergio is a 7th Degree Coral Belt and spent his career with the Rio de Janeiro State Civil Police, including work with specialized units comparable to SWAT. He also trained law enforcement officers in defensive tactics, physical control, situational awareness, and real-world confrontation.

The focus of these classes is simple: what actually works.

Tuesday, September 29
Prevention, positioning & initial defense

Wednesday, September 30
Escapes from grabs & controls

Thursday, October 1
Knife defense concepts

⏰ 5:00 PM
💰 FREE

No experience is necessary. You don’t have to train Jiu-Jitsu. You just have to show up ready to learn.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn self-defense from someone who has actually spent decades applying and teaching these skills in the real world, this is a class you do not want to miss.
