Exactly how big of a mistake would it be to over look weapons when thinking about Personal protection ?     When you learn a weapons strength you also know its weakness.


Hard or soft, aggressive or passive, a weapon always displays the spirit and intention of its user, if you were forced to defend yourself or loved ones, would it help you to recognise these?








Your body, your mind, a book, a stick, an edged instrument, a firearm, a speech - even an idea - are all tools or may be used as weapons.

As you interact with them you come to an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, how far they may extend and how to defend against them if necessary.

As you study weapons and  weapons defence at Toa Ara, we instruct with the spirit of  new beginnings and the intention of restoring order and maintaining balance.                   Armed with this know how you are in a position to boldly create powerful positive outcomes for your family, self and society. Come and explore and discover for yourself.
