KNOW & GO^®

Knowing that most children are not “safety conscious” and will not know how to react in a potentially harmful situation, Tom Patire^® (the founder of CDT) created a fun-filled program based on sound recognition and proper movements to teach children how to avoid the most common harmful situations a child will face. This program is designed to train children, between the ages of 4 and 12, audile recognition patterns (hearing) and eye-hand and eye-foot reflexes in order to help them live a safer and more cautious life. The children will be taught in a friendly and fun environment to recognize specific sounds that can lead to unintentional or intentional dangerous situations. By using a unique obstacle course, children are taught to recognize audible sounds while using proper movement to keep them safe. If you are interested in this Know and Go class for your child or a friend, please know that space is limited so you should call to reserve a spot in the “Know and Go” program today. Please contact us for more information on times and locations.

TEENSAFE™

This program covers techniques and scenario-based training that teenagers can use in any situation, whether they’re off to college, traveling about, or just out for a night on the town. From "Sizing Up a Situation" to "Self-escape Techniques," "How to Keep Yourself in the Spotlight" to "Getting to a Safe Zone," each of the numerous TEENSAFE sessions will give your teen the confidence and life-skills they need for potentially unsafe situations. Separate classes are held for each gender based on statistical facts that target boys and girls.

Training For Life^®

What would you do in the face of adversity? Do you have the confidence to get out of a threatening situation and get yourself to safety? Tom Patire's Training For Life program will teach you the necessary skills and help build your confidence so that you are your own best defense when something - or someone - goes wrong. Training for Life is the ultimate personal protection course based on self-escape techniques for men and women of all ages.

The course is tailored to everyday people, with content and instructions you can learn and adopt regardless of your previous training experience, age, size or gender. All courses provide hands-on training with Tom Patire himself or one of his Certified Training For Life Instructors. Courses can be conducted in licensed Training For Life facilities, like Bailey's TaeKwonDo & Grappling Academy, or on premise at your own facility or place of work.

BULLYGUARD^®

BULLYGUARD is a high-energy, empowering class designed for elementary and middle school grade levels. These lessons are designed to stimulate a child’s mind, while building up their confidence and ability to deal with, and walk away from bully-type or stranger-danger situations. The entire lesson focuses on getting the message to kids on how to be confident and be safe - all the time! The bully avoidance and stranger-danger messages are portrayed through re-enactments between the kids and the instructors in a fun, but very empowering way. Kids are taught how important each one of them is, and that they are their own Celebrity as well as their own personal Bodyguard!
