What's in a name?
PERIGON
This is a geometry term for a complete or 360° angle. Similarly, we teach 360° self-defense that keeps the whole person at the center - body, mind, and spirit. By training with us you learn how to address a threat from any and every direction AND grow awareness, confidence, and mental fortitude while understanding your place and worth within the world.
​
DEFENSE
We exclusively teach from the self-defense systems of Krav Maga, Israeli Combat Shooting, and Israeli Tactical Knife & Pen. These systems were created for extreme efficiency and simplicity, informed by real world threats for the purpose of self-defense and the protection of loved ones, church family, or coworkers.
​
ACADEMY
We hold weekly classes and regular seminars with carefully curated and tested curriculums. Students are able to learn beginner to advanced techniques with step-by-step instruction and repetition drilling and test through multiple levels in our Krav Maga and Israeli weapons courses. We also provide customized seminars and ongoing training for churches, businesses, and nonprofits. Our instructors also participate in annual training and are held to high standards of teaching and technique by the Krav Maga Association.
