KoBu Certification for :                                                                                           Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers and Private Individuals

Thank you for your interest in our programming.  
You can choose to become certified in one or all of our programs:

KoBu can be tailored to the needs of Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers.  You can use KoBu solely as an exercise program to get in shape and improve one's fitness level without emphasis on self-defense, or you can offer KoBu as a self-defense escape technique program that also has fitness benefits.  You can incorporate KoBu into your current curriculum because it's easy to tailor it to your current market.

Learn the basic movements of your chosen program(s)
Understand how to manipulate the bar and how it relates to self defense
Learn how to teach your chosen program(s)
Know proper form and safety habits of the KoBu Self Defense Escape Techniques
