Sensei Buddha offers several training options to meet your self-protection needs.
Group classes will be taught at a location of the student's choosing and private sessions may be taught and Sensei Buddha's private studio.
What is being taught?
The BuddhaStrike Combatives Method will be taught. This is an ever-evolving personal protection system committed to helping students survive violent confrontations. Unarmed defense will encompass striking, kicking, trapping, clinching, grappling, and joint-locking techniques. Weapons training on various impact and bladed weapons are also taught with an emphasis on legal-to-carry, portable weaponry.
A principle that is one of the pillars we do in BuddhaStrike Combatives is called the "Rub-a-Dub." This helps train our bodies to capitzlize on our natural "flinch response" and to use the gross motor movement caused to our benefit in a self-defense situation.

Below are the different training options available effective November 15th, 2011. These rates do not include transportation fees which will be extra.
In these classes, various aspects of BuddhaStrike Combatives will be taught.

Pay-per-view training sessions will be very skill specific and last approximately 60 minutes. The sessions will be streamed live for up to two students.
Intro to BSC Concepts: $29 per person -- from 10 to up to 25 students
You provide the location and we will do a 2-hour seminar on the basic BSC concepts that will make you better able to effectively and efficiently defend yourself.
Group Classes With 15 to 20 Students: $1,500 for five sessions; and $3,000 for ten sessions.
Advanced Private Training for Existing Group Class Students (Sold in blocks of 5 sessions): $250 per person
Students may desire special private coaching to refine specific techniques and grasping particular concepts. This discounted private session pricing structure is available only for existing group class students.

This gives you the most focused training possible. It will just be you, the instructor and at times, an assistant instructor or other practitioner. This will depend on the training goal for a given training session as you may need a third body (e.g., mass attack or body guarding situation).
Special weapons classes focusing on less-than-lethal, legal-to-carry weaponry are listed below:
Pocket Stick Self Defense Seminar: $79 per person
In this 4-hour seminar broken up into two parts where students are taught basic BSC concepts and basic falling techniques. Students are also taught how to use the pocket stick (also called the Yawara or the Kubaton). The pocket stick is portable, looks harmless, is legal-to-carry, and less-than-lethal.
Griffin Grip Intro to the 12 Touch Tactics Training and Escapes from Holds: $59 per person
The Griffin Grip is a really cool little device that is both lightweight and inconspicuous looking. It is great for use as a 'force multiplier' in gripping techniques, open hand slapping and grappling. It is worn on the inside of the hand, like a ring turned backwards. In this 2-hour seminar, students learn basic parries, strikes, and escapes by using the Griffin Grip.
Griffin Grip for Locks, Throws, and Ground Escapes: $59 per person
The Griffin Grip is a really cool little device that is both lightweight and inconspicuous looking. It is great for use as a 'force multiplier' in gripping techniques, open hand slapping and grappling. It is worn on the inside of the hand, like a ring turned backwards. In this 2-hour seminar, students revisit open-handed strikes and rubs with the Griffin Grip, and will be introduced to six Aikido controls (i.e., locks) and throws, and how the Griffin Grip augments the controls and throws.
Here is Master Michael Griffin demonstrated his evil little invention, the Griffin Grip:
