Fort Collins Self Defense
The ACT Method
Using the method of Adrenal Response, we guide you down the path of awareness and assertiveness. When you are confident in your abilities, you will appear, talk and act with assertiveness. You will thereby become less of a target for aggression. However, if aggression does present itself, you are ready and can handle it on all levels of verbal and physical engagement.

Finding Your Voice and Power
Sometimes we don’t stand up for ourselves. How are we to become assertive and powerful, and stop being a target if we can’t or won’t stand up for ourselves? Finding our voice in all things is very important. This essential aspect of self-defense spills over into everyday living. In self-defense, we have to be able to say “STOP” when someone does something that crosses the line or is about to cross the line. In life, we have to stand up for ourselves at work, in relationships and essentially everywhere, in order to have peace. Remember, we can never have peace in our life if we are afraid of conflict. We must master conflict in order to have peace and assertiveness. This doesn’t mean we are without fear; we actually use our fear to fuel our resolve to not be a victim, to achieve our dreams and live powerfully.
The Picture to the World
How we present ourselves to the world is extremely important, not only for purposes of self-defense, but also for achievement. In self-defense if you don’t look like an easy target, you more than likely will not be approached or attacked. As for achievement, good things come to those who have good energy and presence. An assertive demeanor will get you further in life than a passive or aggressive attitude. Understanding what is happening around us will also help us avoid bad situations. This trait can also help us get involved in good situations. Awareness is about seeing the outside world as it really is and using those observations to protect ourselves and others. We can also use those observations to help ourselves and those we care about in positive ways. Remember that it is not always about the negative, it is actually more about the positive than we would like to admit
The Physical Skills and Success
It is a well-known fact that those who are skilled athletically are more assertive and live powerful lives. The self-defense application for this principle is interesting, to say the least. When a student is confident that they can defend themselves and defeat an aggressor on most levels, they gain confidence. As this confidence begins to grow, the better they get at defending themselves the more assertive they become. The life lesson here is, the better you feel physically -as in fitness, self-defense, and appearance- the more confident and assertive you will become. When you are confident and assertive, you are less of a target for aggression and the predators of the world.
