Sergeant David Vilaysing, founder of DXI Training Solutions LLC, announces the formation of a dedicated team to participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer's event in Hays on Sept. 21.
As part of their commitment to the cause, DXI Training Solutions will donate half of the profits from their upcoming Be Your Own Bodyguard (BYOB) courses to support the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
The BYOB courses, scheduled for June, July, and August, offer participants the opportunity to learn essential self-defense skills while contributing to a worthy cause. Taking place at Fit 159, 4820 Vine St., the intensive 1-day courses will equip attendees with practical techniques designed to enhance situational awareness and personal safety. It is self-defense designed with the same efficiency as a first-aid course. You will be safer in a day.
"We believe that everyone should have the ability to protect themselves and their loved ones," Vilaysing said. "Our Be Your Own Bodyguard program provides individuals with the necessary skills to stay safe in today's world."
Developed by Coach Tony Blauer, a leading figure in modern self-defense, the BYOB course leverages the SPEAR system, based on natural human biomechanics and the startle-flinch response.
Participants will learn effective verbal de-escalation techniques and physical self-defense maneuvers, including strikes and tactics for managing fear.
The course curriculum covers key principles such as awareness and avoidance, fear management, and building a personal defense arsenal. Participants will engage in drills to enhance their understanding and retention of essential self-defense concepts.
"We are committed to empowering our community with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate potential threats," Vilaysing said. "By supporting the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to Alzheimer's research and support services."
Individuals interested in supporting the cause can donate directly to the DXI Training Solutions team at http://act.alz.org/site/TR?fr_id=17623&pg=team&team_id=881643.
Upcoming classes will take place on a Saturday for the following dates: June 15, July 20 and August 10.
The course will last from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Tuition is $199, or $299 for a group of 2.
