Welcome to the Reston, VA Institute for Self-Defense
Teaching Japanese Martial Art & Self-Defense Styles through:
Discipline Exercise Ki (focus) Community Service
Training stresses avoidance of injury to self and others
NOTE: Our school is a 501c3 Not-for-Profit Martial-Arts School, not a Martial-Arts Business
The Reston, VA Institute for Self-Defense teaches and promotes responsible, effective self-defense. Its many skilled and diverse instructors will teach you how to respond to threatening situations in a controlling and assertive manner that will help assure your safety. At the same time, you will be taught to control your own responses, to recognize that you are (however noble your intentions) a person in a fight and that hysterical over-response makes you every bit as ethically (and legally) responsible as any other aggressor.
At the Reston Institute you will learn techniques that satisfy three key criteria:
- Effectveness: Would you bet your life on this technique?
- Adaptability: Can this technique be applied in a light and controlling manner (when light contact is all that is needed) but also applied in a more powerful manner when that is called for?
- Responsibility: Does this technique lessen the overall violence of a confrontation, rather than escalate it?
