About
Welcome to Prepared Citizens LLC. Home of exceptional training opportunities for the everyday citizen. We offer self-defense and preparedness training that empowers participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to protect themselves and their loved ones in a variety of real-world situations. Our training solutions are practical, accessible, and tailored to the needs of our participants.
Here are some key components that Prepared Citizens includes in our training:
Realistic scenarios: We prepare participants for real-life situations by simulating common threats and teaching practical strategies for responding to them. This includes techniques for defending against physical attacks, dealing with verbal aggression, and managing situations that escalate into violence.
Experienced instructors: Our instructors are highly trained and experienced in self-defense. We are able to teach participants not only the physical techniques of self-defense, but also the mental and emotional skills needed to stay calm and respond effectively under stress.
Multidisciplinary approach: Our programs draw from a variety of martial arts and self-defense disciplines. This will give participants a broad range of skills to draw upon in different situations.
Personalized instruction: Our instructors tailor training to the individual needs and abilities of each participant. This could involve assessing their current fitness level, identifying any physical limitations, and providing modifications to techniques as needed. We are also available for one-on-one coaching and support outside of group training sessions.
Ongoing support and practice: Self-defense and preparedness skills require regular practice to maintain proficiency, so we strive to provide ongoing opportunities for participants to train and hone their skills.
