Hand Strikes Training

Hand Strikes Training: Self-Defense & Personal Protection Training

A human being is endowed with wonderful, versatile mechanisms for survival—the hands. For effective self-defense training and personal safety, it is crucial to know how to strike an opponent with your hands—to strike hard, fast, and with brutality.

At Maximum Armour, our hand strikes training is a core component of our self-defense classes and martial arts training curriculum, designed to build essential personal protection skills. We emphasize situational awareness and preparing you to react effectively in any encounter. Our program is divided into three courses: basic, intermediate, and advanced.

Basic Training

This course is where you'll learn the safest and simplest techniques for hand strikes in different positions. You will also learn how to defend and strike against opponents who are also using hand strikes, building a foundational understanding of combat dynamics and self-defense.

Intermediate Training

Expand your personal protection capabilities by learning how to use hand strikes against an opponent who uses leg strikes or grappling. This course is designed to prepare you for a wider range of situations, giving you the versatility to adapt your response based on the threat.

Advanced Training

In this critical course, you will learn how to fight using hand strikes against armed opponents. While fighting unarmed against an armed opponent is a dangerous last resort, mastering this skill is a crucial component of self-defense training for women and men who prefer to travel "light," without weapons. It is a vital skill for survival in a life-or-death situation.

Maximum Armour offers comprehensive self-defense classes and personal safety training in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and other surrounding areas.

Important Note: The best self-defense begins with situational awareness. Avoiding a confrontation is always the safest option. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you cannot escape, knowing how to use your hands as weapons is a powerful skill.
