In modern society, there are many kinds of attacks.  We typically hear of the physical attack or assault... But what about the unexpected verbal assault;  the "Boss"  who pulls you into the office to lambaste you about something... or, what about the pushy relative who insists on you following their agenda.  Whether it be a physical attack or a verbal attack, in general we are simply not prepared.  Before any single self-defense technique (verbal or physical) is learned, we must thoroughly prepare our mind to respond to any possibilities.  That is not to say that we are anticipating any attack... but it is possible.  A threat can present itself anytime, anywhere, or by anyone... even people you know.  Have you ever heard of the saying, "Prepare the mind and the body will follow"?

Innovative Preparedness Self-Defense incorporates practical self-defense techniques with the appropriate mind-set to allow you to act in potentially compromising situations.
Classes are facilitated by John Martin Raine-Okubo.  Martin is an experienced Martial Artist / Teacher as well as a Life Strategy Coach.  Martin has certifications in Jujitsu and Hapkido and previously taught Aiki-Jujitsu at the Leaning Tower YMCA.   Workshops are available throughout the summer.  No previous Martial Arts experience necessary.  The only requirement we ask is that you be over the age of 18 and enthusiastic about learning something very different. 

To contact Martin directly, you may also email:  SGK@SuiGetsuKai.net  or call:  312-259-5357


In Session1, you will first learn the doctrine, strategies, and tactics that will help you develop the proper mindset and energy flow.  You will learn basic self-defense techniques:  proper breathing, balance, stance, footwork, "hard-style" blocks (hand/arm and foot/leg).  You will learn how to use the same aquired skills in "non-physical" situations as well.  Please note, this is not a martial arts class and therefore, we will not be breaking boards or cement blocks and definitely there will be no sparring in class.  Please wear comfortable clothing.  Certificate upon completion.  ($40)

An Emergency Prepared For is Not an Emergency !

On-Site Classes at your facility can be arranged.
In Session 2, we will review doctrine, strategies, and tactics from Session 1 as well as fine-tune the self-defense techniques.  You will be introduced to "hard-style" combination techniques (block & strike and block/strike) with hand/arm and foot/leg.  We will also cover several fighting ranges, such as close range and sitting.  Please note again, this is not a martial arts class.  Please wear comfortable clothing.    Certificate upon completion. ($40) 
In Session 3, we will first review material from Session 2 and fine-tune the techniques.  You will be introduced to "soft-style" self-defense techniques.  You will also learn the use of everyday items as an extention of your hands.  Again, this is not a martial arts class.  Please wear comfortable clothing.    Certificate upon completion.  ($40)
