Self Defense Self Confidence Self Discovery

I believe that the only way to teach anyone proper self-defense is to approach each individual personally. Each one of us is different and each one of us should be taught the correct form. By correct form I mean the most useful techniques the person is inclined toward. Find his ability and then develop these techniques. I don't think it is important whether a side kick is performed with the heel higher than the toes, as long as the fundamental principle is not violated. Most classical martial arts training is a mere imitative repetition – a product – and individuality is lost. ~Bruce Lee

Jeet Kune Do

The BLAST was built on the ideals of Jeet Kune Do (JKD), an art where ‘no way is way,’ and is an academy focused on functional martial arts. BLAST owner Mike Vaughn is the highest certified instructor in Wisconsin under Paul Vunak, a 2^nd generation JKD instructor and originator of Progressive Fighting Systems. In private or semi-private lesson format, BLAST Owner, Mike Vaughn, will teach you simple, direct, and effective self defense techniques in the areas of:

Edge weapon
RAT System
Termination
Ground Attack
Mass Attack
Self Discovery

Personal Protection Program

In 1999, there was a kidnapping and murder in BLAST owner Mike Vaughn’s hometown. The thought of this happening to any of his family or friends pushed Mike and his father and fellow martial artist to develop an easy to learn and effective program for self defense. Our Personal Protection Program is the highest level of self defense you can receive without taking years of formal martial arts training.

The program is divided into 3 important parts:

Part One: Psychology of Self Defense

Being aware of your surroundings and understanding how to defuse an uncomfortable situation before it goes bad could save you from needing to defend yourself.

Part Two: Grabs and Holds (standing and on the ground)

You will learn how to defend yourself from:
   Wrist Grabs
   Front Chokes
   Rear Chokes
   Shirt Grabs
   Bear Hugs
   Various ground positions

Part Three: Weapon Attacks/Weapon Equalizers
Weapons are involved in 70% of attacks so learn techniques and mental attributes to keep you safe from weapons, including guns and knives.
