The Cruz Self Defense Systems for Teens – ages 13-17 As the father of 3 daughters, Coach Vinny understands that the teenage years are difficult ones, where personal safety is a concern. No teenager wants to admit that they are frightened or scared, especially when many of the adults they mix with are telling them that these are the best years of their lives. At the same time, teens struggle to balance an increasing desire for independence, with their overall lack of "life experience" to safely navigate the adult world on their own. As teens do develop more autonomy, they go through a transition period from childhood to responsible adulthood - a transition that can pose many dangers along the way. Teenagers today face aggressive and violent situations that may involve edged weapons and evens guns, and almost certainly multiple assailants - their world is potentially a very scary place, or can quickly become one. The teenage self-defense program deals with these issues head-on – This self defense program is not intended to scare, but rather to inform. Vinny will cover subjects such as bullying, dispute resolution, sexual and relationship violence, etc, and teach teenagers how to identify, avoid and disengage from potentially dangerous situations. He also teaches physical solutions to aggression and violence, but present these as a last resort when all else fails. He will teach simple, effective, proven and realistic solutions to violence as well as the 3 components to Reality Based Self Defense: simple and effective techniques, aggression/survival mindset and physical fitness.
