  1. My family takes martial arts, isn't that self defense?

    No. Martial arts are great for building character and getting in shape, but they are not self defense. Self defense is about execution of specific, simple skills under extreme circumstances. It involves a plan of action along with a simple "go or no-go" condition. Criminals know what to say to disarm and trick you and your children. The Family Safe Program™ shows you where to set your boundaries and you and gives you the correct course of action.

  2. Do I need any experience to do the Family Safe Program™ ?

    No. Self defense is a life skill, not an art. You only need to go through the drills once (about 20 minutes) and you and your family are all set. The Family Safe Program™ will show you how to survive and attempted abduction or bullying, and help you handle other life threatening situations like fires.

  3. Will this take a lot of time to master?

    No. The Family Safe Video Portion is 43 minutes long. After you watch the video, use your worksheets and go through the drills once a year, that is all you will need.

  4. Will this help my child survive a school shooting?

    When your child is faced with any danger he or she will be prepared to execute a plan of action. That includes escaping to safety. No matter what the threat, the Family Safe Program™ will teach your child that time is of the essence and they need to get to safety as quickly as possible.

  5. What is The Self Defense Training System™ ?

    The Self Defense Training System™ or SDTS is the ultimate close quarters training program. It is a 12 step modular program that can be practiced at home. In only 2 times a week for 30 minutes, you and your family can train in close quarters combatives. Unlike martial arts, the simple, core movements are easily mastered in a short amount of time. The program includes 12 modules. Each module includes a Training and Drills DVD, an Instruction DVD plus a training manual. That's 2 DVDS plus a manual in each of the 12 modules (13 manuals and 25 DVDs in total). In addition, you will also receive live support from the training forum to answer any of your training questions. The cost of the program is $57.59 per module.

  6. What is 60 Minute Self Defense for the People™ ?

    Where Family Safe focuses on survival of your family included children ages 4 and older, 60 Minute Self Defense for the People™ is what everyone should know about self defense regardless of their age, size, man or woman. These are escape and evasion tactics that have been used in action since 1941. These methods are designed so that even the smallest person can escape from a much larger, determined person. 60 Minute Self Defense for the People™ will also show you how to properly use non-lethal self defense tools like pepper spray (or even hair spray or bug spray) personal alarms and other improvised weapons. You will have an opportunity to get this program after your purchase Family Safe Program™ (plus 3 instant bonuses) for only $19.67 with free shipping and handling.

The Perfect Combination of Activity and Knowledge

The Family Safe Program is completely interactive and kept my daughters' attention through the entire program. As a father of two growing girls I can rest a little easier knowing that they can spot danger and execute a plan of action before it's too late. The Family Safe Program is a must for everyone.

Greg Strepeikis, Accountant and Father of Two

Discussion Leads to Learning

The unexpected benefit for me about the Family Safe Program was that it showed me how to discuss these topics without using shock and awe. Now I know how to talk with my son about predators both young and old. I especially liked the psychological component incorporated into the system.

Dr. Jay Jorgensen and Family

The Family Safe Program Helped both Me and My Kids

I walked in expecting to watch my child learn karate or some other martial art. I didn't realize how extensive and informative it was for my kids and my husband and me. Now we can protect ourselves as a family unit, not individuals.

Jennifer Mildner and Family

A Feel Safer As He Becomes More Independent

As my son grows older I grow concerned. After experiencing the Family Safe Program I know that he is a lot better off than before. We never learned any of this in martial arts class.

Marietta Codilla, Nurse and Mother of Three

Mother and Son Learn in a Warm Friendly Environment

This is a subject I desperately needed to teach my child, but where do you start. I also had my concerns about traumatizing him. The Family Safe Program explains the dangers of abduction, bullying and other violent crimes without scaring them. The kids are given a set of specific rules to follow and a specific course of action when an adult predator breaks the rules. The truth is, I still worry, but whenever I do, we go over the rules and the plan of action.

Janice Bailey, Mother of One

School and Daycare Safety

I and my husband work, so our kids are at school and daycare for the better part of the day. I know the teachers do their best, but sometimes kids slip through the cracks. The Family Safe Program acts as a series of checks and balances. My kids know that if they get separated from the group to seek help immediately.

Marie Fein, Working Mother of Four

PTA Mom Brings Safety Home

I am active in the school and one of our growing concerns is child safety. The Family Safe Program empowers your child to make fast, accurate decisions to make on their own without our guidance. I am so impressed with this program that I have recommended we incorporate it in our yearly curriculum

Bridgett Lander, Home and School President and Mother of Two

You Can't Always Be There

The Family safe Program has helped us instill confidence and awareness in our child, even when we're not around. We have discovered how to work as a family unit to protect ourselves and our neighborhoods.

Eric and Dyanna Mark, Parents of One

Family Safe Gave Us Power to Our Family

We discovered how to talk about violence in a non threatening, informative manner. The practice drills at home enabled us to come together as a family. And all it takes is about 20 minutes of practice. Watch the video and practice the drills. We go through our routine once a year...that's all you need.

Eric Pozarycki, Father of Two

The Strength to Stand Up for Himself

I always worry as soon as I can't see him. Now, it's not so much. The Family Safe Program has allowed us to work with our family and neighbors to do our own policing so to speak. we all know exactly what to do once the Family Safe Rules are broken.

Diane Vella, Mother of One

A Little Safety Goes a Long Way

As he gets older, I get more concerned. The only thing I knew was "Don't talk to strangers." But that is not enough. I learned how child predators can trick my child into a dangerous situation, I didn't realize the lengths they go through to lure our kids away. At least after the Family Safe Program, we know how to prevent that, communicate to each other and protect our streets and playgrounds. We also learned how to effectively communicate with police and teachers. Now my son has a little less chance of falling prey to violence.

Wendy Cornell, Mother of One

Family Safe Reinforces Good Parenting

As an educator I look to incorporate the whole family in the learning process. The Family Safe includes all members of the family unit so everyone is on the same page. We walked away with a set plan of action. I would recommend, in fact I would insist that everyone who can take this program do it immediately.

Rick Gronda, Vice Principal and Father of Four

Now We Have Some Piece of Mind When We're Not There

One of the biggest concerns I have is that I worry if my kids will make the right decision if we're not around. The Family Safe Program gives them the tools to protect themselves and empowers them to communicate to teachers, other parents and "safe strangers."

Craig VanDuerson, Heavy Equipment Operator, Father of Two

Family Safe Gave US Some Street Smarts

There are something you already know, but a lot of things that you don't. I found myself saying "I never thought of that!" Now we know what to look for and what to do, we are a lot safer and a lot happier. If your child remembers even one thing it's completely worth ten times the cost.

Marie Kreutz, Customer Service Representative, Mother of One
