Women's Self Defense
360X Defensive Hands is based on the context of violent criminal assault and not the sports associated with martial arts. The foundation since 1972 has been the context of 360X Defense's four pillars:
- Legal definitions of crime and self-defense law.
- Criminal behaviors
- Crime statistics: What one can glean from statistics on which ones actions supports defensive strategies.
- Crime case study: What defensive measures succeed or fail in actual crimes.
Defending Yourself Without a Gun
360X Defensive Hands are not limited to the empty hands of Karate (kara=empty and te=hand). Still, they include bare hands in hand to hand defense and defensive tools such as the legal pocket knife, car keys, tactical pen, cellphone, walking cane, flashlight, pepper spray, TASER, and any improvised objects such as a lamp, rolled-up magazine, salt or pepper shaker, shoe or belt.

360X Defense Method
The 360X DEFENSE Method: A Scientific Approach to Confrontation Management, Self-Defense, and Self-Preservation
The 360X DEFENSE Method is a comprehensive system developed through rigorous study and analysis of violence, survival, and human behavior under duress. By focusing on evidence-based research and practical application, this method offers one of the most efficient approaches to personal safety and violent crime survival.
1. Legal Definitions
Understanding the legal definitions of crimes is fundamental to any self-defense method. The 360X DEFENSE Method begins with a thorough study of what constitutes a crime under the law, providing clarity on the actions, intent, and outcomes that define criminal behavior. This ensures that our training framework operates within lawful boundaries and prepares individuals to act responsibly during confrontations.
2. Self-Defense Laws
A key element of 360X DEFENSE is aligning techniques with self-defense laws. This includes understanding when and how the use of force is legally justified. By teaching participants the principles of lawful self-defense, the method helps you protect yourself effectively while minimizing legal risks. You will gain knowledge on:
- The threshold for reasonable force.
- Differentiating between non-lethal and lethal force.
- The importance of proportionality and necessity in self-defense scenario
3. Criminal Behavior and Crime Statistics
To confront violence effectively, you must understand the adversary. The 360X DEFENSE Method analyzes the patterns and tactics used by criminals through the study of crime statistics and behavioral profiles. This approach reveals:
- The common characteristics of violent crimes.
- Locations, times, and situations where individuals are most vulnerable.
- Behavioral triggers and warning signs of impending violence.
By knowing what you are up against, you can better prepare for the threats you might face in the real world.
4. Crime Case Studies
Case studies of violent crimes provide invaluable lessons. The 360X DEFENSE Method dissects real-world scenarios where individuals survived—or failed to survive—violent encounters. These analyses identify:
- Effective survival strategies that worked during extreme violence.
- Common mistakes and failures that led to victimization.
- Situational dynamics and environmental factors that influence outcomes.
Learning from these cases ensures the strategies taught are grounded in reality, not theory.
5. Natural Human Reactions
One of the most distinctive features of the 360X DEFENSE Method is its focus on natural human reactions during high-stress confrontations. By studying how individuals instinctively respond to threats—whether through fight, flight, or freeze—we have designed a method that enhances and refines these innate reactions. This ensures that techniques align with what your body is naturally inclined to do, reducing the learning curve and maximizing effectiveness under pressure.
Core Concepts Defined
- Confrontation Management (CM): The art of diffusing and de-escalating potential violence before it escalates into physical conflict. This proactive approach prioritizes peaceful resolutions and minimizes risks.
- Self-Defense (S-D): The use of non-lethal force to stop an attacker, ensuring the minimal force necessary is applied to protect yourself from harm.
- Self-Preservation (S-P): The application of deadly force to prevent grievous bodily harm in life-threatening situations, defined as:
- The 3 D’s: Disfigurement, Disablement, or Death.
- The 4th Threat: Sexual Assault.
Why Choose the 360X DEFENSE Method?
The 360X DEFENSE Method is designed for everyone, regardless of experience, physical ability, or background. It offers civilians:
- Efficiency: Practical skills that work in real-life situations.
- Confidence: Empowerment through preparation and understanding.
- Adaptability: Tools to respond appropriately to varying levels of threats.

Unlike indoor ranges, our outdoor facility allows for dynamic, realistic training. Here, you’ll practice “Drills for Skills” that cannot be performed indoors due to space limitations or safety restrictions. This environment fosters learning and prepares you for real-world scenarios where space and conditions are unpredictable.

The Training Process
Becoming a member of the Open Range Day Club is simple:
- Register for membership with a one-time fee of $300.
- Pay an annual Range Maintenance Fee:
- $35 per month ($420 annually), or
- A pay for the year of $150 (saving $70).
- Range Usage Fee: Each visit is $25 per two-hour session, which includes:
- Expert instruction on a specific skill or topic.
- Dedicated free-shooting time to practice anything safe within the day’s range setup.
Why This Training Matters
Having visited numerous ranges within a three-hour radius of Hemet, CA, I’ve observed a troubling trend: 85% of shooters lack specific goals to improve their skills. Many simply shoot at a target without a plan, mistaking casual practice for preparedness.
Most shooters believe that if they can hit the outline of a target—even sporadically—they’ll be ready for a life-threatening encounter. This is a dangerous misconception. Under the intense stress of a violent assault, fueled by adrenaline and cortisol, your performance will not improve; it will degrade to your lowest level of consistent training.
When asked if they could defend themselves effectively in a violent confrontation, 100% of shooters say yes. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that without focused, purpose-driven training, they are likely to freeze, panic, or miss critical shots. This overconfidence could result in tragic consequences for them or their loved ones.
