Join Michael Tarasenko, owner of Barrington Martial Arts, for a 90-minute self defense workshop. Taking the techniques used in Jeet Kune Do, along with contrived scenarios, the self-defense class will focus on:

Situational awareness
Assertive vs. Passive Presence
The 3 Fs- Fight, Flight, Freeze
Grounding techniques to override Freeze response
Simplicity & Directness
Striking Vulnerable Areas- jabs, punches, elbow strikes, knees and kicks
Defense against various grabs and holds

Mike's martial arts journey began over 16 years ago when he first met Sifu Raffi Derderian, owner at Derderian Academy of Martial Arts in Johnston. Sifu Raffi opened the first JKD (jeet kune do) school in Rhode Island in 1993 and he is one of few people in the Northeast USA to be certified under Bruce Lee’s protege Dan Inosanto. Jeet Kune Do is the martial arts system created by the late Bruce Lee. It is an art that encompasses highly effective and street-proven self-defense techniques, all while fostering self-confidence and personal growth.
