Note: The Bolingers Gym conducts this training program as a free self defense program, usually promoting safety awareness for a specific month. The past couple of years we've done this in April. This program helps gives people a different , less violent way of protecting ones self or others and gives a more professional way of handling issues if you work in a business that requires a standard way of defending ones self. It also gives back to the community, as well as bring possible new students to your gym. Getting people in the door is half the battle of a growing business. Get people in the door and word of mouth will grow your business very quickly. I've trained fighters for over 25 years in several different styles of martial arts and boxing. And it doesn't matter if your the best in the state or best in the nation, there's always some punk that'll try and step up and test your skills. As a coach, I always strive to teach the kids to be the best, but, when it comes to the streets, striking someone is a last resort. You maybe defending yourself, but if its a issue that goes to courts, the courts may decide different. I teach the officials training program to the boxers, MMA guys and kickboxers to give them a alternative to striking someone to help keep them from getting into fights or getting hurt or help keep them out of jail or a juvenile detention center.
