What is The C.O.B.R.A.™ Self-Defense System?
The C.O.B.R.A.™ Self-Defense System is best described as a police academy for civilians. The scenario-based training develops students both physically as well as mentally. Since 2003, the C.O.B.R.A.™ Self-Defense System has proven to be a powerful, eye-opening and rewarding experience for students.
Who is it for?
While the C.O.B.R.A.™ Self-Defense System is for all ages from the very young to the very old and for all levels of experience, the www.SelfDefenseCollege.com online & home study kit training is designed for those 18 years of age and older only.
It is for anyone who wants to learn BOTH the mental and the physical components of reality self-defense. It is for those who want to learn self-defense techniques that shut down verbal, empty hand, edged weapon and firearm attackers. And it is for those who want to learn how to avoid such confrontations to begin with.
Do I need any prior experience to learn this?
Absolutely not. Becoming safer is not just for those who can punch the hardest or kick the highest. We believe strongly that improving your security and the security of your loved ones should not be limited to those with prior martial arts or other self-defense experience.
What if I already have a martial arts background?
Great! Add to your knowledge: a) REALITY-BASED self-defense where you and the bad guy(s) do not play by a rule book, a referee or other constraints and b) the mental side of self-defense that most training neglects.
Why is C.O.B.R.A.™ different?
The short answer: this is a unique "Police Academy For Civilians."
- No Martial Protocol I.e. uniforms, bowing and so on. It follows an academy format that is similar to a police academy/training camp.
- Learn Physical Techniques Not Found In Sports-based Training: Learn physical offensive and defensive techniques that work in the Real world. This is not a sport. These are powerful techniques that are not limited by any rule book.
- Learn The Mental Side of Self-Defense That Others Ignore: Learn the mental side of self-defense that most training neglects outright.
- Everyone Can Do It: Everyone deserves to improve their security. C.O.B.R.A.™ teaches you things that you can use right away to protect yourself and your loved ones. Yes, with more practice you can always improve certain physical techniques - but C.O.B.R.A.™ focuses on the mental side you can master quickly and the physical techniques that you can put into practice right away.
- It Is Extremely Empowering: Students come away feeling they have had blinders on all these years and that they are now lifted.
