Self Defense 101:
Counter Ambush
Self Defense 101 is our Krav Maga based onboarding program. SD 101 is designed to work as a one-off program to develop basic self defense skills, as well as an intro to continued training with us. It is open to all fitness levels and everyone starts in SD 101 regardless of previous experience. All programs offered are meant for adults (19+).
Progressive
Krav Maga
This class is for people continuing to train after SD 101 and rotates through 4 different programs by session. This includes Self Defense 102 – which builds on the fundamentals from SD 101, as well as three other focused programs: Striking, Ground Fighting and Weapons Training.
The goal is always to get home safe, regardless of technique.
That can mean avoidance, de-escalation or the use of physical force depending on the circumstances. Our curriculum is focused on defending against the most common types of assault in North America, and in consideration of Canadian self defense law.

KPC (Evolution) is a great way to build confidence and self defense training. It provides a lot of real world examples of dangerous situations and how to deal with them. They go through the mental and psychological aspects as well as the physical which gives you a will rounded understanding of violence. Paul creates a respectful and safe environment to train and learn. For anyone who is considering any type of self defense training, no matter your fitness level, I would highly recommend KPC (Evolution).
I attended SD 101 after researching numerous self-defence clubs, I certainly make the right choice! Paul and his team are highly skilled and knowledgeable. Demonstrations were clear with ample time to practice in each class. Stress testing although intense, was fun and allowed me to put learned skills to the test in scenarios. If you are looking for easily learned skills by top notch instructors and open to pushing your limits each class, most definitely Krav Maga SD 101 is a great place to start!
At the age of 52, I wanted something that would allow me to defend myself, without having to be an Olympic level athlete, or take 20 plus years to even begin to master. This club has fit my needs perfectly. Excellent trainers, no egos, common sense self defense, and a metric ton of fun! If you've ever wanted to learn real world self defense, definitely join! You won't regret it.
I trained with Paul for self defense 101 and 102. Paul is extremely knowledgeable with the material he teaches in class. We covered a wide range of practical techniques and scenarios that are applicable to real-life situations. Highly recommend training here!
Paul and the team are great, teaching in a ‘no-pressure’ welcoming environment. The blend of theory and practical classes have improved my self esteem and made me feel more confident. It’s also a great way to practice martial arts disciplines without joining multiple clubs.
I had the pleasure of training with Paul at KPC Self Defense (now Evolution Self Defense) for eight years. The friendly atmosphere and reality-based curriculum of both soft and hard skills helped me to grow not just as a martial artist, but as a person too. Highly recommended for anyone seeking realistic self-defense training with a fun and knowledgeable group.
Our next SD 101 program starts April 2025.
This class often sells out and is only offered a few times a year. Don’t miss your chance!
