Hi! I'm Sakan Lam, Founder and Head Instructor of Core Combat Chiang Mai.
Throughout my years of martial arts training, I've recognized that finding a legitimate self-defense instructor is extremely difficult, yet I've been fortunate enough to have been mentored by some of the best in the industry. For that reason, I wanted to share with you the most important techniques, drills, and concepts that I've learned from all my years of study and application - with the ultimate goal of improving the sense of security and well-being for you and your family.
With Emergency Self-Defense Online, you'll be able to access the course material from anywhere in the world to share with your training partners and friends. I guarantee that your skill sets and awareness will reach new levels, as did mine when I began my practice of this practical self-defense system!
Good luck in training, and remember, I'll be here every step of the way. Thank you!
No prior experience in martial arts or sports is necessary to get started! You will grow more adept with time and practice.
No, this course is a supplementary guide to your training for the Self-Defense ED Visa Course at Core Combat Chiang Mai.
Just like learning any language, mastery of a martial art happens over a lifetime. With enough training and effort, this course should make you proficient in the basics of Self-Defense within a matter of weeks.
Definitely! We've trialed this course with some very experienced martial artists and combat sports athletes, in which they all remarked on improvements in their levels of situational awareness and their understanding of self-protection.
If you're looking to start or progress your path to becoming an instructor, this course is an excellent way to do so. However, this course alone will not grant you an instructor's certificate.
I've been very fortunate to study with several reputable and experienced Self-Defense & Combatives Instructors, such as; Sifu Tylus Quan Do of Core Combat Unlimited, Mr. Lee Morrison of Urban Combatives, and Mattias Persson of M.A.T.T. Combatives.
Yes, if you're not 100% satisfied with the course, we'll be glad to offer you a full refund within 1 month of purchase.
