  • Kneepads - We will NOT have these available. Hard Plastic Kneepads can be picked up at any Lowes or Home Depot type store. Wrestling type soft Kneepads can be ordered online and I suggest you wear them around a little over several days to break them in before you come to Virginia Beach.

  • Sports bras are recommended (I think I should probably wear one) hahaha.
  • Men wear a cup if you want. We recommend "Nutty Buddy"brand hahaha. Yes this is a men's cup and I won't be wearing mine.
  • Backpack (optional). Handy to keep all your stuff together AND we'll be teaching it's use as a weapon and shield in self-defense.

SHOES

Women if you typically wear high heels, bring an old pair with you along with a pair of athletic shoes / sneakers. Men and women bring the kind of shoes you normally wear. Bring several pairs so you don't track dirt onto the mats.

​OLD CLOTHES

Men and women please wear the kinds of clothes you normally wear. The same kind of shoes, pants, skirts, shirts, blouses, etc. Holes or stains are OK because we don't want to ruin brand new stuff. You will be grabbed, poked, smacked, put on the floor etc. so no need to damage new outfits.

​FIREARMS AND OTHER WEAPONS

You will not be allowed to bring an accessible firearm or other weapon into the building. Lock it up in your car or bring a lockbox in to the training facility with your weapon(s) already unloaded and secured in the lock box. I will lock the box in a storage closet. I will have the only accessible live ammunition in the building in my concealed carry magazines and weapon (although I may not be carrying concealed). Do not bring any weapons at all into the building that are not legal in Virginia. Discuss with me prior to arriving in Virginia.

NO WARMUPS

We will NOT be doing warm ups. The bad guys will not be giving you a chance to warm up so we will concentrate on techniques that reduce or eliminate the need to warm up. If you feel you must warm up, please do it at your hotel before you arrive, or arrive AT 8:30 am...early enough where you can go off in a corner and do it without bothering the setup crew.

LUNCH AND SNACKS

Lunch will be 90 minutes on your own breaking at approximately 12:30. We will have a list of local restaurants and convenience stores available. We will go until AT LEAST 6 PM both days. Bring power bars and/or snacks if you need to keep your energy up. We have a refrigerator and microwave available. Please mark any of your foods so they don't get mixed up in our refrigerator.

I can't wait to see you in Virginia Beach. I hope you never have to face a violent encounter, but I want you to be able to call me up afterwards if you do. - Tom Antion
