Defensive Tactics

YPS and I teaches the proven and certified Pressure Point Control Tactics (P.P.C.T.). This simple but affective system utilizes the most vulnerable areas of the human anatomy. This is NOT martial arts training, rather P.P.C.T. research has proven that the more simple the instruction, the better the results. YPS and I can teach you how and where to strike an aggressor to create a "motor dysfunction" thus allowing you to gain control of the situation. This 24-hour course also includes handcuffing techniques, baton training, and joint manipulation. Please call our office for scheduling information and pricing.

Please call our office for scheduling and fee information.
