About





BRAVE is the first and only self-defense system specifically designed for working women. We understand the complexities of modern women's busy schedule that is why any program of BRAVE is optimized and can be completed in just a day. Martial arts and fighting background is not a prerequisite. In just a day, A woman will learn the principles, techniques, and methods on how to protect herself in times of violence.

After any BRAVE program, a student is guaranteed to have the knowledge that can be turned into power in violent situations, and the skills to protect her from people who want to hurt or take advantage of her.

Brave Self-Defense System is based on Kali, the Filipino Martial Arts. Kali is one of the most effective martial arts in the world. So effective that it was used by Matt Damon and Tom Cruise in Bourne Series and Mission Impossible. It was also alleged that Jeet Kune Do (system founded by Bruce Lee) was mostly influenced by Kali because of Bruce Lee's partner, Dan Inosanto who is an instructor of Filipino martial arts.

A working woman is an independent woman. An independent woman must know how to protect herself.

Reviews



"It was enlightening. It felt good knowing what the next steps are and that you are not helpless. It felt wonderful to know that if someone tries to pull me, grab me, or point a knife at me, I have within me the forces I need to fight back."

- Kathy Kenny Ngo, Blogger,  www.lifeiskulayful.com


With Lead Instructor Ssgt. Mary Joy Castillo


"The workshop made me more aware of my surroundings. I learned that aside from the groin area, eyes and throat, the ears, nose bridge and even knees and shin are sensitive areas which are lethal targets of the attacker. I give this workshop a thumbs-up!"

- Edel, Attorney-at-law, legalmomarchives.blogspot.com



"They were very patient with an exceptionally slow learner such as myself, extending one on one supervision as needed... The training is based on Kali and you don't need any background for this particular training as they teach you starting with the basics. SSgt. Castillo may look like a frail lady, but don't mess with her, she can whoop ye A-- big time!"

According to Mommy Edel of Legal Mom Archives"The workshop made me more aware of my surroundings. I learned that aside from the groin area, eyes and throat, the ears, nose bridge and even knees and shin are sensitive areas which are lethal targets of the attacker. I give this workshop a thumbs-up!"
