Safety Against Violence Education (S.A.V.E.) Program
The S.A.V.E. Program is a personal safety training program developed by Chris Kent as a professional martial arts educator and prominent personal safety instructor with over 30 years experience.
The S.A.V.E. Program offers a series of personal protection workshops aimed at not only instructing women and children (men also) how to successfully defend themselves, but also educating them on the underlying roots of violence and how to avoid trouble before it starts. Each workshop combines safety awareness education including such things as how attackers choose their victims, recognizing and intercepting signals and strategies that would-be assailants use, projecting a non-victim image, etc., with hands-on training in practical, effective self-defense skills.
"Violence is a part of America today, and the world for that matter. If you read the newspaper or watch the news on television you cannot help but see that the energy of violence moves through our culture�"
S.A.V.E. Workshops can be developed to meet a company�s or organization's specific needs and requirements. We offer one-time programs (3-5 hours), and multi-day workshops. Depending on the size of your group and time scheduling, S.A.V.E. Workshops can be conducted either at your own business facilities or at the Chris Kent Martial Science Training Center. All necessary training equipment will be supplied by Chris Kent and his staff.

"The most important things I learned from attending Chris Kent�s S.A.V.E. Workshop is that 'NO' is a complete sentence, and understanding that I had much more power than I realized.�
