Basix Self-Defense Course
An accelerated introduction to Krav Maga training — built for beginners who want real skills, fast. Feel Safe. Live Free.
What Is the Basix Course?
The Basix introduction to Krav Maga was originally designed to teach personal safety to high school students preparing to enter college — for on-campus class attendance and living. Today, it is available to private individuals and small groups of all backgrounds who want a fast, effective path to self-defense competency.
All participants who complete the 6-session curriculum will walk away with fundamental self-defense skills in a short period of time. Whether you're heading to a new city, a college campus, or simply want greater peace of mind in your daily life, Basix gives you the confidence and basic self-protection skills you need to successfully manage a potential violent confrontation.
No prior martial arts experience is required. The course is designed from the ground up for beginners, focusing on practical, real-world techniques that work regardless of size, strength, or fitness level. Every session builds on the last, creating a complete foundation of personal safety awareness and physical response capability.

6-Session Curriculum
Basix Training Agenda
The Basix curriculum is structured across three core disciplines, each covered in two dedicated sessions. Every topic is taught progressively, ensuring that beginners build real competency before moving on. Here's what you'll learn:
1
Tactical Striking
Two (2) sessions learning the proper targets, range, and structure of attacks on your attacker's body. You'll develop the mechanics of effective striking so that your response is instinctive and powerful when it matters most.
2
Abduction Defense
Two (2) sessions learning to thwart attackers grabbing you from the front, from behind, and by your hair while they attempt to take you to another location or into a vehicle. These are among the most critical survival skills you can possess.
3
Ground Survival
Two (2) sessions learning how to escape violent encounters while your attacker attempts to mount you on the ground. Techniques cover multiple positions and focus entirely on evasion and escape — not prolonged fighting.
A Closer Look at Each Discipline
Tactical Striking
Effective striking is about precision, not brute force. In these two sessions, you'll learn which targets on an attacker's body are most vulnerable, how to position yourself for maximum impact, and how to deliver strikes with proper structure. These skills form the offensive foundation of your self-defense toolkit.
Abduction Defense
Abduction scenarios are among the most dangerous situations a person can face. These sessions teach you to recognize and immediately counter grabs from any direction — front, rear, or by the hair. The goal is to break free quickly and decisively before an attacker can gain full control or move you to a secondary location.
Ground Survival
Many violent encounters end up on the ground. These sessions focus entirely on evasion and escape — not wrestling or prolonged grappling. You'll learn to defend from multiple ground positions and create the opportunity to get back on your feet and away from danger as quickly as possible.
What You'll Gain
Completing the Basix course means more than learning a few techniques. It means developing a new relationship with your personal safety — one grounded in awareness, confidence, and practical skill. Graduates of the program consistently report feeling more prepared, more alert, and more capable of protecting themselves in everyday situations.
Real Confidence
Walk into any environment knowing you have the skills to protect yourself if a situation escalates.
Fast Results
Six focused sessions deliver fundamental competency in a fraction of the time of traditional martial arts programs.
Practical Skills
Every technique is grounded in real-world scenarios — no sport rules, no competition, just survival-focused training.
Beginner Friendly
No experience necessary. Basix was built from the ground up for people with zero prior training in martial arts or self-defense.
