KAPAP is good for anyone...and everyone should have self-defense skills. ​ We specialize in high-quality hand-to-hand reality self-defense courses.  Our student tribe has the opportunity to learn in a low-pressure atmosphere at a pace adapted to their needs.  Training takes place in our private training facility, a few select local schools or studios, or locations more convenient to the student(s).  

Based on the particular needs of our tribe, we progress from fundamentals of hand-to-hand self-defense (stance, striking, clinching, and other specific “tools”) to highly dynamic reality-based KAPAP/IFFC training.  

Our clientele includes individuals, couples, corporate groups, women’s only groups, college students, law enforcement groups, military groups, security groups, VIPs, and families who simply want to learn together.  The educational experience, training time, and monetary aspects of our training for each session is customized based on the needs of the customer.

Module Sessions will include:

You must attend Module 1 to attend Module 2 and Module 3.  You may attend Module 3 and not Module 2 if you have attended Module 1.  You may attend any Evolution in any order IF you are a student who has already attended one of our previous 8 or 12 week academies.  Ideally you elect to attend all 3 Modules, but we have set this up so you may attend each Evolution in smaller increments to try and better accommodate schedules and also to provide for more overall training hours.  Each Evolution will cover different topics and defenses. 

All returning graduates receive a discount on tuition for ANY Self-Defense Academy or Module!!
Each Module is 10 HOURS of training, so all 3 Modules are 30 hours!

Sabre Pepper Spray

Simply the best on the market!

Less-lethal” self-defense is oriented toward using tools that are made (but not guaranteed) to not permanently injure or harm an attacker, for example: SABRE Pepper Spray.  Many people are interested in pepper spray but do not always understand the complete aspects of using pepper spray.  We provide high-quality custom, SABRE OC (pepper spray) for law enforcement, SABRE Civilian Safety Awareness Program (CSAP), and SABRE College Safety Courses.  We have found SABRE pepper spray to be a highly effective tool if applied in certain circumstances.  The SABRE slogan “Making grown men cry since 1975” is a true statement if used correctly.
