Defendo is one of the martial arts style that fall under the Underwood Systems. It is an art of self defence that originated in Canada and was later taught to the United States as part of law enforcement training. Defendo teaches students to survive real world violence using a combat-proven system of physical, tactical, and mental techniques. The physical side of its training consists of specific “BRICKS” (BATTLE proven, REACTION for, INSTINCTIVE, CONTROL or, KILL), or modules which integrate to form the complete and realistic system. The system is scientifically based on proven concepts of real combat, together with universal principles of physics, biomechanics, physiology and psychology. Defendo provides members with the most realistic skill set to effectively deal with real world violence.
