ABOUT TRIDENT DEFENSIVE ARTS

Trident Defensive Arts was established due to a need for an affordable, common sense approach to self defence in today’s environment. However, the general consensus about self defence is “just about punching or kicking”, when in reality it is so much more. 

We dive into the Canadian criminal code, use of force, and the reactionary gap as well as the psychological and physiological aspects of personal protection (dealing with stress and motor skills). As citizens, we must have an understanding of what is happening in our body’s and mind in the moment we are faced with violence and aggression, and what occurs to us afterwards.

 We have open discussions about the tough topics of emotional and physical abuse, relationship violence, verbal self defence, bullying, discrimination and harassment, and dealing with multiple attackers.

 Our programs are all-inclusive, welcoming everyone with varying experience levels, ages, genders, athletic abilities, nationalities, etc. Everyone is welcome to join in, learn, and have fun!

Our philosophy is simple - under NO circumstances do we condone violence however as a Canadian citizen, you do have the inherent right to self defence. Our responses to violence and aggression shall be legal, moral, and ethical.
