Black belt students and their families at Personal Mastery Martial Arts learned how to defend themselves using only a cane last Saturday. They learned that some of the best tools for self defense can be items that are used every day, like a cane. Although cane seminars have been taught at Personal Mastery Martial Arts before, this was the first one in several years and all of the students came away from the seminar with more knowledge about self defense, feeling safer and more able to defend themselves. One participant, Kim McGowan-Jackson said, “The cane seminar this morning was so awesome! Everyone was great and learned some fantastic new skills. The cane is up there as one of my favorite in weapons. Love it!” Although students at Personal Mastery Martial Arts begin to learn how to use weapons, such as long staff, from the time they are intermediate students in the Tae Kwon Do program, this was the first time for many of these students using an every-day tool for self defense. It was a brand new experience that opened up their eyes to different ways in which they would be able to defend themselves, if the need were to arise. The seminar was taught by Master Instructor Brett Lechtenberg. Brett is known as “Utah’s Leading Family Safety Expert” and has been teaching personal and family safety for over 20 years. He is also the owner of Personal Mastery Martial Arts. He has taught a large variety of safety and self defense seminars from anti-bullying seminars, to women’s self defense, to defense against home invasion. He often visits other martial arts schools across the country and teaches these self defense concepts and techniques to others as well. Master Instructor John Nottingham, who owns the USA Martial Arts school in Arizona, said, “We had Master Brett Lechtenberg teach the cane seminar at USA Martial Arts and it was outstanding! Practical, fun, and super easy to learn.” For more information about martial arts in Sandy check out the website: Sandy Martial Arts
