Learn Commando Krav Maga
Chris Roberts is a certified Commando Krav Maga (CKM) Instructor under Moni Aizik, founder of Commando Krava Maga. CKM is a solid system for men, women and mature young adults. The system's main objective is to disengage after the attack is stopped, which is a more realistic approach for most people in the world. CKM is not a punishment system but it uses devastating tactics to allow people to survive deadly and violent attacks. People who know CKM can use its tactics to survive stressful attacks and fights. Chris has also studied under Level 5 CKM instructor Daniel Giosu.

Chris Roberts teaches Commando Krav Maga locally, nationally and internationally. He travels extensively to deliver this training to individuals, organizations or corporate groups.  Just a few hours instruction could save your life!  See Commando Krav Maga page for more info.  Private Client Testimonial

Programs Offered
Defend yourself with the P.D.R. method
The core of P.D.R.™ is based on the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ which is the first genetically & behaviorally inspired self-defense course of its kind. It is the only self-defense method that fully integrates the body’s reflexive responses and instinctive survival mechanisms making the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM the easiest, most natural way to protect yourself. Personal Defense Readiness also includes unique and patented learning models but most importantly, we have pioneered research on how to manage and overcome fear.

We only teach realistic self-defense skills that are street applicable. Students are exposed to aggressive as well as defensive role-playing to simulate encounters and to prepare them to react ethically as well as decisively to real-life aggression. Our curriculum covers verbal defusing tactics, choice speech principles and a host of other behaviorally researched strategies.  PDR was developed by world renowned personal safety expert Tony Blauer. 
The S.A.F.E. High School course is taught to about 15,000 high school students every year.  We travel extensively throughout Ontario and Quebec teaching both teenage girls and boys our unique approach to personal safety based on all the Safe International principles of detect, defuse, and defend.  Chris Roberts has developed a Safety Talk which has made his approach to personal safety stand out from any other program available.  All of the Safe instructors get their safety message across in a fun, entertaining manner while still addressing the seriousness of the situation.  Safe International is available to come to your school or facility to help make your students safer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I began Safe International in 1994. I originally saw there was a lack of practical and effective self protection instruction for students.  Our high school courses became known for our instruction on how to deal with conflict before it starts rather than just deal with the physical side of self defense.  What makes a Safe International course stand out from most is the approach the instructors use to get their message across.  While self protection is a serious topic, I, along with my instructors have managed to develop a course that integrates humour while still getting a serious message across to students/clients. 

I have developed and taught specially tailored courses in the corporate environment, particularly to companies/organizations that are in higher risk professions including health care, real estate, sales people, etc.

I also train/consult people privately on a weekly basis.  My private clients include anywhere from mothers, fathers, daughters to police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.  I quickly learned that if a technique could not be taught and learned quickly, it would never be effective or valuable to my clients. I am constantly studying and implementing new techniques when they fit my criteria of being simple but effective.  If the technique might save a life, I am interested.  Our techniques are taught on the basis of Gross Motor movements.

I am a Fundamentals Coach in Personal Defense Readiness through Tony Blauer. Tony is the founder and CEO of BLAUER TACTICAL CONFRONTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS©. Mr. Blauer has pioneered research and training methodologies that have influenced and inspired martial art & combative systems around the world.

I am also a Level 2 instructor in Commando Krav Maga which was developed by Moni Aizik.  Moni taught CKM exclusively to special military groups around the world. However, on account of a growing demand from civilian groups, Moni agreed to start teaching civilians for the first time in his career. Now finally even civilians can learn the most elite Israeli commando units’ techniques for armed and unarmed close combat training. 

I have appeared on television shows and have written a number of online articles on personal safety.  Other influences on my business have been author Gavin De Becker as well as Daniel Giosu, Russell Stutely, Sammy Franco and Tim Larkin.  I have been married for 22 years and have a 19 year old son and 17 year old daughter.
This program is designed for people who want to train privately or in a small group setting.  I have taken the best techniques from different systems and designed a course for people who want to learn practical, effective techniques as quick as possible.  I cover the most common street attacks as well as knife, gun and ground attacks.  Students will get the opportunity to practice skills learned through controlled realistic training drills.  There will be extended instruction on pre attack psychology as well as physical combative training.  Don't forget to ask about our 1 day extended private lesson for the person who is too busy to train on an ongoing basis but want to learn the skills to protect themself and their family.  This course is perfect for the busy executive or person who may be on the road a lot and out of town.  Course will include an interview so that a I can design a lesson plan perfectly suited for your personal situation.  Contact me today!  Private Client Testimonial
