ANN ARBOR ARMS ACADEMY LAUNCHES NEW LESS LETHAL OPTIONS PROGRAM Self defense classes now offered at Ann Arbor Arms Academy
_________________________________________________________________________________
Ann
Arbor Arms Academy (A4) is pleased to announce an innovative Less Lethal
Options (LLO) self-defense training program. The addition of the LLO program
offers a non-gun-centric exploration of alternative life saving tools and self
defense techniques. A4 brings to the classroom what alternatives one has to
keep from being defenseless in situations where a firearm is not an option.
“The Less Lethal Options program allows
us to reach individuals who are either not interested in firearms or who cannot
carry a firearm at their place of business or on school grounds” said Director of
Training & Development, Tatiana Whitlock.
Less
Lethal Options programs include hand-to-hand self-defense, edged weapons
defense, short stick and monkey fist classes, and pepper-spray courses. An Introduction to Less Lethal Options class has
also been launched to provide a comprehensive overview of what tools and types
of training are available to individuals.
Leading
the program as primary instructor is internationally recognized Japanese
martial artist, author and Ann Arbor businessman, Nicklaus Suino. Considered
one of North America’s foremost martial
arts teachers,
Suino is a leader in
the Japanese martial arts community both in the United States and abroad.
“Partnering with local professionals and
experts like Nick is a vital part of the A4 mission to support the Ann Arbor
community” said Ann Arbor Arms
owner, Bill Pinon.
Catering
to all skill levels from the extreme novice to the seasoned enthusiast, A4
offers Less Lethal Options programs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced
skill levels in a safe, structured and welcoming environment.
“This is an opportunity to learn a range of self-defense options in an
atmosphere of professionalism and respect.
Effective self-defense starts but doesn’t end with firearms. At A4 you can learn to apply the fundamentals across
the force continuum,” said Suino.
In
addition to teaching martial arts, Suino consults for businesses and
individuals who want to improve their effectiveness using the physical, mental,
and intangible principles of mastery. Suino believes that practice of the self-defense
arts can have a profound positive effect on people's lives.
“We are adding programs based on the needs
of our students and members of the community. Being a college town, there is a
strong interest in firearms alternatives and techniques in Ann Arbor. The LLO
program is designed with leading experts in their fields to bring these options
to the greater Ann Arbor community” said Director of Training & Development, Tatiana
Whitlock.
