"Self Defense for the Age of Chaos"

Welcome to Violent Paradigms. It is a sad but undeniable fact that violence has and always will plague human societies. While it does not deserve to be celebrated, it must be understood and at times, harnessed and applied for the sake of the betterment of humanity. At times there is a direct need for good people, under the guidance of a strong moral mentors, to do bad things to bad people. 

Violent Paradigms is dedicated to helping anyone understand, detect, avoid and escape violence in a determined criminal society. We accomplish this by guiding and growing your defensive foundation in the event you must bring force upon those who would seek to bring harm to you or your loved-ones. As the world around us slowly but steadily slips further into instability, more and more people are realizing that they need to tip the scales in their favor by seeking competent and effective self defense training. While traditional martial arts training can bring many worthwhile aspects to people’s lives, the reality is that even in the most ideal situations and under the best of instructors, the so called “fighting arts” often fail to translate into effective self defense, and even when they do, these skills can take years to perfect. 

Combining over 25 years of experience in military, martial arts, personal security, and bail enforcement, your instructor, Douglas White, shatters the dangerous myths propagated by the television and film industries. He accomplishes this by offering you an unvarnished, unapologetic perspective on the role that firearms, edged weapons, irritant aerosols, electronic control devices and impact weapons play in modern society. Our broad spectrum of weapons based training modules will allow you to choose the self-defense tools that best suit you and your individual needs. These lessons are taught without ever losing sight of the medical, psychological and legal consequences that follow a self-defensive response requiring the use of force. 

Whether beginner level or highly skilled, private, group and seminar based instruction is available to those from all walks of life. If you're new to training, rest assured we do not incorporate any training that requires more than moderate physical activity or direct contact with another individual in your first training module.
