Defense dans la rue

What is Defense dans la rue?

This concept often encompasses various martial arts and self-defense systems that focus on practical skills for personal safety in urban environments.

Training under this concept may include techniques for defending against common street attacks, situational awareness, de-escalation tactics, and legal considerations regarding self-defense.
