SAFE International, North America's Self Defense Leader, Launches Albuquerque, New Mexico Self Defense Seminars

ALBUQUERQUE, NM, June 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) SAFE International is the leading provider of self defense training in North America. It currently operates throughout Canada and has expanded into Albuquerque, New Mexico with a focused marketing campaign to provide Albuquerque self defense to women, men, corporations and high schools.

SAFE International has delivered training to over one hundred thousand (100,000) people since 1994. The company is owned and managed by Chris Roberts, CEO, who is a professional teaching Director and self-defense instructor.

Ryan Fellows is the Director of Operations for SAFE International in the U.S.A. Ryan Fellows lives in Albuquerque, NM, in the southwest United States. He has been married to his wife Vickie for 19 years and has three daughters. Ryan studied martial arts and tactics for many years. His teaching and training credentials range from: studies in Shotokan Karate to more modern methods of self-defense. Ryan is an NRA Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and is also a NRA Range Safety Officer. He has been teaching Albuquerque Self-Defense to people for many years from high school to senior citizens. Ryan has volunteered his services to many community organizations including domestic violence and women's /family shelters. He has a passion for teaching people how to stay safe, and believes that the key to good instruction is keeping it fun.

Mr. Roberts founded SAFE International in 1994. He saw there was a lack of practical and effective self defense instruction for people. The SAFE International high school courses became known for their instruction on how to deal with conflict before it starts rather than just deal with the physical side of self defense. While self protection is a serious topic, the SAFE instructors have managed to develop a course that integrates humour while still getting a serious message across to students/clients. Chris Roberts has developed and taught specially tailored self defense courses in the corporate environment, particularly to companies/organizations that are in higher risk professions including health care, real estate, sales people, etc. Self protection is a not only a necessity, but is also a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure. Workplace violence is a serious issue and SAFE has the ability to teach workplace staff how to deal with all aspects of confrontation including the Awareness/Avoidance stages along with Verbal Diffusing skills and physical self defense.

SAFE International also offers specialized Women's Self Defense courses to women's groups, including their Women's Self Defense Parties. Twenty five percent of women will be assaulted during their lifetime. This is an alarming fact especially since over forty seven percent of crime is unreported. Women will know their attacker fifty seven percent of the time according to studies. Women lead busy lives and need easy to remember tactics that work in real-life situations. They also need training that fits into their busy schedules. SAFE International's instructors understand the challenges that women face and offer classes, group seminars and private lessons to fit into anyone's schedule.

SAFE International has become North America's most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that they don't teach martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on recognizing and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. All instructors are certified through SAFE International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner. SAFE International has traditionally focused on self defense instruction for high school students. It offers 1, 3, 4 or 5 hour courses which can be taught over consecutive days or all in one day depending upon the school/ organization's needs. They offer High School self defense customized to the class needs and expectations. Each session includes discussion, role playing and a practical physical component ending with their famous simulated attacks in which the students get the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills on a padded instructor. These are real-world tactics that can be used by anyone against violent and stressful attacks.

SAFE International also trains/consults people privately on a weekly basis. Private clients include mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities. Chris Roberts constantly studies and implements new tactics when they fit the criteria of being simple, but effective. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts that are based on Gross Motor movements, rather than complicated and difficult to remember techniques.
