ABOUT US

Our mission at Tandez Academy is to help everyday people, both adults and children, learn how to protect themselves against:

​

• All forms of violence

• Assault

• Intimidation

• Bullying

• Predatory behavior

• Crime

 

We teach Reality-Based Self-Defense, and we focus on real combat in the real world. We do not focus on training for tournaments, competitions, or sports.

 

Our main goal is to help you learn how to adapt and overcome an attack or dangerous situation.

 

We believe that it is better to know how to fight, and not need to, instead of needing to fight, and not knowing how to. 

​

We believe that preventing violence is much better than dealing with it after it happens.

​

Every single one of our classes is designed for self-protection and survival. We teach practical and functional techniques that are guaranteed to work in a real fight, under high-pressure conditions.

 

Our training method follows this pathway:

​

1. LEARN & UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS

2. LEARN THE TECHNIQUE

3. DRILL THE TECHNIQUE INTO YOUR REFLEXES

4. APPLY THE TECHNIQUE UNDER PRESSURE

5. SPAR THE TECHNIQUE AGAINST A RESISTING PARTNER

​

The main goal is make the techniques you learn become automatic and reflexive. That way you can use the technique without thinking. The proper response will simply come out of you automatically.

​

TECHNIQUES WITHOUT FAST REFLEXES ARE USELESS. WE WILL DEVELOP YOUR FAST REFLEX, THROUGH REPETITION AND PRACTICE, SO YOU CAN USE YOUR TECHNIQUES PROPERLY.
