Former (14 time) International & World Martial Arts Champion, CEO of the Pan Caribbean Martial Arts Championships, President of the Caribbean Martial Arts Alliance, head of the Black Hawks International Martial Arts Network, 10th Dan Grandmaster, Professor Christopher Francis, respected throughout the World as a Self-Defence expert, will be in Guyana to conduct a physically interactive 5-hour self-defence training Seminar “The Scientific Art Of Safety & Survival” on Sunday 18th August, starting 10.30am (sharp) at the Police Officers Mess, Eve Leary.
The Professor will be joined by Master Max “Bone breaker” Massiah, Founder of MAXIDO Self Defence System, which is gaining rapid interest & respect worldwide for its no-nonsense application of self-defence techniques which all solely concentrates on dislocation & breakage of an aggressor’s limbs, with devastating effect, in under 4 seconds.
The Seminar is specifically structured for the seemingly vulnerable, and likely to be targeted – (business owners, professionals, seniors, females, and especially law-enforcement & security personnel) who may be suspected to mugging, burglary, bullyism, road rage, rape, unlawful physical/domestic assault etc. For adults age 20 to 85 years, females over 16 are accepted with their parents consent.
Max Massiah, the host of “Soke” Francis, said, “Participants are guaranteed 5 hours of the most valuable teachings in personal (close-combat) self defence one can ever wish for, from a combination of 2 world-class experts in self-defence. This is not a speech seminar, this is everyone being shown and practicing the actual moves/techniques. All are guaranteed to build awareness, mental & physical self-confidence, while automatically reducing the attraction to those who would before see you as “prey”. Security & Law enforcement will greatly benefit by being taught how to subdue an errant offender/intruder or affect an arrest in a few seconds, without the use of firearm, regardless of any disadvantage in weight, size, or height”.
Massiah said all Guyanese and even foreigners should make the most of such an opportunity which will be highly beneficial in strengthening their security for safety and survival in a world of ungodly and evil-minded. Donation for the Seminar is G$5000 (snacks included). The event is sponsored by Hand-in-Hand Insurance Co, Steve’s Jewellery, Maxido Self Defence, Maximum Sports Combat & Strength, Enterprise & Destiny Consulting & Public Relations Firm (USA), Fabulous Homes, Jamrock Restaurant, & Caribbean Martial Arts Alliance. Master Max Massiah can be contacted on (592) 609-8132 for further information.
