Overview

""Ashley and Chris represent the next evolution of self-defense instructors. This book goes far beyond teaching the typical disjointed smattering of physical techniques which is so common in this domain. It begins instead with the true root of the challenge-namely, our fears and the trauma that so often leads survivors to seek out solutions in the first place. Through unflinching honesty, they share their journeys to empowerment along with the accounts of some of the brave students who have shared the path with them. The result is an authenticity that is at once compelling, inspiring, and a deep-throated battle cry for transformation and thriving. The unity and community which they have so masterfully cultivated in their school are deeply felt on every page. Thank you on behalf of the self-defense community for this brave contribution."" Kevin Secours, B.Ed., Founder of Integrated Fighting Systems and author of ""Tactical Teen"" Rewired takes the reader on an explorative journey through the emerging discovery of the powerful effects that self-defense training has provided in healing from relational traumas. The authors' personal backgrounds contribute to their empathy, passion, peer-level understanding, and expertise in their work with students. In Rewired, they aim to investigate how self-defense training is significantly supporting students' recoveries after experiencing such traumas. This work explores how and why various aspects of Trauma-Informed Self-Defense (TI-SD) Training can assist students in overcoming the personal challenges that arise from post-traumatic stress disorder and redirect them towards healing and post-traumatic growth. Rewired unearths over a decade of observational data, first-hand accounts from students, and shared knowledge from professionals in the fields of Trauma Psychology and Somatics to illuminate the positive impacts of TI-SD and its extraordinary potential to heal.
