Our goal is simple, increase employee safety and reduce liabilities through proper education. Although the Copkido program was initially developed for police and security personnel, it has since been shared with outstanding applause received from several other occupations. The potential for who could benefit from our program is limitless.
Shawn was very accommodating and willing to travel to the south shore to teach my daughters and I a self defense class. His communication was extraordinary setting up the class through email. His attention to detail was shown right away giving us the ability to preview an outline of the class and our requests prior to holding our class.

The Copkido program focuses on non-violent methods of restraint and self-defense. We accomplish our goals through the mechanical manipulation of the human skeletal and nervous systems. While most self-defense programs focus on the use of violence against violence, our program strives to avoid violence whenever possible.
In Massachusetts, our courses are approved by the Metropolitan Boston EMS Council for continuing education credits. Earn 7 credits for 7 hours of your time. Why not earn credit while you learn self-defense skills? I know how dangerous an EMT / Paramedics job may be; as the founder of this program I was shot by a suspect while employed as a police officer.
With limited space and dependable resources available, flight attendants could benefit from our training in the management of crisis situations. Flight attendants will be taught methods in self-defense in confined quarters and limited spaces. Due to the increasing amount of terrorism abroad, the use of improvised weapons will also be offered for extreme survival situations.
For those companies or groups that may choose to learn in a more relaxed environment, as time allows, we offer training camps. During the camps, there are no time limitations on learning. We make ourselves available for questions and techniques well past the end of the formal classes. Usually taking place in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, we make sure it is as much about learning as it is about relaxing and team building.
From uniformed presence to soft methods of empty hand control tactics. Our methods are street proven and very successful. We have found that communication is key and most potentially violent situations can be de-escalated. When it comes to empty hand control methods, we fully exhaust the use of force continuum, up to and including soft techniques.

Taking some scary skills and breaking them down to small steps as well as keeping a lightness to the instruction. His experience as well as personable nature set an atmosphere of comfort for something so vital and so important to learn for
