Double Edge Self Defense

Double Edge Self Defense is a self-protection facility in Asheville, NC. They provide focused, empty-handed, practical training using targeted martial art principles. Their goal is to give people the confidence and techniques to prevent or escape from violence and train citizens to survive violent assault by delivering incapacitating injury to the attacker. They focus on teaching 'personal offense' and disabling the attacker in the moment of chaos. They assume the attacker is armed, stronger, and has buddies, and students need to understand the nature of violence. They teach students to flip the script and focus on disabling the attacker instead of defensive moves.
