We believe in the sanctity and preservation of life. We value justice and safety and work to give people the opportunity to feel confident, secure and competent in defending themselves, while seeing the humanity in their opponent. We are against the use of force and violence as a means to dominate, control, oppress or subjugate anyone. We are for human rights and people’s right to feel healthy, free, safe and capable to protect themselves, and their loved ones from harm by means of self defense.
