Why We Spar At Rocky Mountain Self Defense & Fitness

Episode with Pjeter Berishaj The John Hallett Podcast

One of the topics John discussed with Black Mountain Defense founder Pjeter Berishaj was the importance of pressure testing.

At RMSDF, we believe self-defense requires more than learning techniques.

Our students train:

  • striking
  • grappling
  • sparring
  • scenario training
  • verbal de-escalation
  • legal self-defense concepts
  • decision making under stress

The goal isn’t to create fighters.

The goal is to create capable people.

As we often say:

Train More. Suck Less.

If you’d like to experience practical self-defense training in Castle Rock, come watch a class or try one yourself.
