Curriculum

Streetwize is a most comprehensive, four-day course that well equip you with the tools to prevent you from becoming a victim and to protect yourself in dangerous situations. Streetwize, recognized by the National Karate Association (NKA) as one of the best self-defense programs in the country, is taught by Melanie Murphy, one of only two women in the country to hold a fourth-degree Black Belt from the NKA. Melanie has taught Streetwize since 1983 throughout the US and abroad. Self-defense is about self-respect, self-reliance and self-worth. Streetwize teaches you simple, effective, physical and verbal actions that are appropriate to given situations. Issues addressed are acquaintance, romantic, relative and stranger assaults. This training helps the healing process, prevention and conflict resolution. We also talk about the emotional, spiritual and mental aspects of safety. This intensive, four-day program empowers you with the confidence, awareness and physical abilities fundamental to self-defense. Each class consists of physical and mental training, as well as interactive class discussions that together provide you with practical knowledge for day-to-day safety. Streetwize programs do not embroil you in unrealistic battle with men in padding. You will develop your physical, mental and emotional abilities, and partake in real-life scenarios. The course concludes with graduation, when you will apply your acquired skills in practical situations and engage in true-to-life combat with perpetrators portrayed by advanced martial arts students.
