Students of Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma had the opportunity to engage in an extensive hands on Self Defense Workshop with Grandmaster Thomas Felder and Luis Lopez. Techniques delivered were based on sudden grabs from various approaching directions. Felder's methodology is quite unique when it comes to presenting his self defense workshop, as his techniques delivered are carefully catered to the participating audience. Specifically, simple assaults, date rape, obnoxious behavior resulting in physical grabs and pulls are more prone to be experienced in a college campus, as well as rape, said Felder. Therefore, techniques against purse snatching would not be a focus point for college self defense workshop. Felder routinely illustrates defensive applications and the students are given the chance to apply each technique in a realistic form as the Masters attack them aggressively. Felder believes in realistic training, and for this cause you will never see him wearing protective garments during his self defense teachings.
