Self Defense for Groups
Self Defense For Groups in Vacaville, CA
Many people think that self-defense classes are meant to teach you how to fight, but that's only in the worst case scenario. In reality, self defense actually means doing everything in your power to avoid getting into a fight.
That's where we come in.
Although combat technique is an important part of our self-defense courses, we also teach a wide array of skills that can help you steer clear of a fight in the first place. For example, verbal de-escalation can be a very effective technique in fending off a would-be attacker.
But the most important thing you can take away from our classes is the self-confidence that comes from training in realistic scenarios. Our classes are taught in an extremely supportive environment and training is tailored to help each individual be prepared to encounter an actual assault.
Regardless of your size, speed or athletic skills, we can provide you with training on how to:
- Avoid being a target
- Assess your surroundings
- React to a confrontation
- Conduct yourself in a crisis
- Anticipate your attacker's next move
- Breaking an attacker's grasp
- How, when, and where to strike if assaulted
This course is designed to prepare you for an assault, but it also gives you the tools you need to avoid the fight altogether. So whether you want to learn how to fight, or more importantly, how to avoid fighting, we can help.

- This place was amazing- william gan. 1/21/2020
- I love this place! I have been going here since I was 4 and the amount of discipline lets students become an overall better person. The two teachers help the students understand the topic and make us children want to keep going to Taekwondo. I am now 11 and I hope more students can join me!- Bag wag 2. 0/5/2020
- I love how they really teach respect and honor here. My daughter has learned sonmuch in such a short time. Love it!! Thank you Mr & Mrs Hamlet- Christine Sells. 11/24/2019
- I've been a student in the martial arts since a very young age and fortunate to have trained in different programs of the arts. A friend one day ask me to stop at the academy where they were currently training. It had taken me only minutes to view Master Brain Hamlet's skill set and the traditional character aspects of what an individual should be. Since then I've never thought twice after signing up in his program which teaches a strong mind, body and spirit. To this day Hamlets academy has never deviated in what life skills they've help students learn and earn for themselves. My time there has seen students move on and to return for training is more than punching and kicking! You benefit through his teaching(s). You truly enjoy the camaraderie and support. I do say this school(academy) is solid and Thank You Sir ..- De'on Gilmore. 11/9/2019
- My grandson attends and he is learning discipline and his esteem is growing which is what is lacking in today's society. I read the 1 star ratings (strange how they are all left at the exact same time! Can't help but think they are multiple accounts with negative reviews created by the same disgruntled parent!) and believe they are probably from parents who all received "participation" awards or had plenty of "safe places" to run to! As a former Army soldier, I appreciate instilling discipline and respect in children, teaching them to respect those in authority and their elders. I applaud Mr. Hamlet as he is gifted in leading and teaching youngsters. The 1 & 2 star reviewers should send their kids to "safer" activities where they will be coddled and taught to be whiners!- Ed Wellington. 11/8/2019
- I have trained here for many years, and even after I moved from Vacaville to Sacramento I am still more than willing to commute here because I am extremely satisfied with the instruction, feedback, and my own personal results. I also appreciate seeing the positive environment and growth both physically and mentally I see with kids as young as 5 years old to teens and adults of all ages that train here. I highly recommend Hamlets Taekwondo.- chris midgley. 11/6/2019
- My son just started at Hamlet's Taekwondo and I have seen such an improvement in his attitude and behavior. I could not be more pleased! The one stars given are from parents who are mad if their child did not listen to the instructor and did not like their child getting reprimanded. I want my son to grow up with discipline and respect, if he is anything but that I would expect him to be disciplined for that and be the least bit mad. And Mr. Hamlet has a wonderful way of doing such. My son enjoys going every night and learning. He even comes home and practices. If you want your child to learn discipline, respect, honor, integrity, loyalty and courage this is the place to go! The one year contract is a COMMITMENT and what a better age to teach your child commitment than now?! Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Hamlet for all your dedication and hard work.- sheena mixon. 11/5/2019
- My 6 yr old son loves this place. Today Instructor Hamlet awarded a red stripe that my son had been working on for a long time. My son has a hard time focusing and Mr. Hamlet has been great with him over the last couple of months. Highly recommend.- A Dabba. 11/4/2019
- I was really impressed how all instructors work with the kids. One thing I really liked is that there are life skills being taught beyond the self defense skills- G. Matthews. 11/4/2019
- I love this place! I took classes when I was younger. Mr. Hamlet teaches you important life lessons that will help children in the long run! Trust me, his lessons helped me as a young adult. When I have children, I will be enrolling them here.- LoveYarely7 . 4/17/2018
- This place is more than TKD... is about teaching kids life lessons, discipline, commitment, respect and of course TKD. They run a very strict program, class availability is fantastic. My daughter, 5yr old, love it since day#1. Mr./Mrs Hamlet are just excellent.- Leo Cep. 5/15/2017
