GSE Self-Defense
The GSE Self-defense course is a co-ed program that focuses on gross motor skills (skills that are simple and easy to remember under stress). These skills are designed to be very efficient so the student has a better chance of warding off attackers through speed, surprise and violence of action in order to break free and escape the problem. The goal is to minimize the amount of time that someone is in a physical conflict to avoid the enhanced risk of injury and fatigue.
