Capt. USCGR (retired), Supervisory Special Agent - ATF, Co-Author, award winning book, "The Night Police"
Paul Smith

"As a young policeman I worked the nighttime streets with Joe Grasso. Even in those early years Joe had a mastery of the art of dealing with the criminally violent, and he taught me things that have kept me alive across four decades of law enforcement and numerous military deployments. If Joe Grasso tells you something about survival, you can take it to the bank."

About This Class & Joe Grasso

I’m Joe Grasso and I appreciate your interest in “Survive The Danger”.  This is an entry level course focused on enhancing your safety during potentially violent encounters with criminals. I do this by teaching alertness, situational awareness, and readiness to respond in the face of danger at a moment’s notice.  I will also show you some easy to perform self-defense techniques that are extremely effective and can save your life out in the street.

I designed this seminar specifically for those individuals who prefer not to take ongoing martial arts or combative classes BUT recognize the current danger violent crime poses to them.  Whether you know Self-defense or not, my seminar can HELP protect both yourself and your loved ones with key pieces of information to know PRIOR to becoming a victim of crime.  This gives you time to preplan your actions.

Questions and Answers

I’m Interested In the class. Now what?
Image 20

Click on the “I’m Interested” link on this website.  We will combine people interested in the class by geographical location.  This makes it easy as my staff and I will come to you.  When you click the “I’m Interested Link”,  enter your NAME, E-MAIL, ADDRESS, PHONE (optional) HOME ZIPCODE, WORK ZIPCODE and NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU WILL BE BRINGING TO THE CLASS.  The reason we are asking for your work zip code is in case you can’t make the class in the area of your home, we will give you an opportunity to attend a class in the area of your work.   Once we have the required number of individuals we need for the class, we will reserve location, time, and a date for the class in your immediate area.    We will contact you by e-mail with a link for you to click on and pay for admission to the class.  Sign up as soon as you can because there will be limited space in each class.  Then just print out your ticket and bring it (or them for multiple people) with you for admission into our class.

I have multiple people in my family interested.  Is there a family discount?
Image 20

Yes – ONLY for tickets purchased at the same time:  there is a 5% Discount for the 2nd Admission Ticket Purchased,  a 10% discount for the 3rd Admission Ticket purchased, and 10% discount for each ticket purchased thereafter.  ALL TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME TO GET THE DISCOUNT.  Also keep in mind that there are a limited number of seats available for each class.  When the class is full you will have to wait for another class in your area to open up.

How long is the class?
Image 20

This seminar is a one-day class approximately 2.5 hours long.  You will be able to purchase safety items after the class should you wish.  You must have a credit or debit card as we will not be carrying cash to the location.

What comes with the class?
Image 20

Every person attending gets our 32 page “Survive The Danger” Booklet that has a variety of topics including “How to avoid becoming a victim”, “What happens psychologically during an attack?”, “How do attackers choose their victims?”, “What is your legal right to self defense?”, “When is lethal force justified?”, “How to avoid being punched in an altercation”, “Inside information on tactical flashlights, tactical pens, pepper spray, stun guns, knives, and firearms”, “Body strike points for self defense”, “gangs” and much, much, more!  

How is the class structured?
Image 20

This entry level class is a combination of lecture, class participation, and viewing actual security camera footage of violent crime, stopping the video and discussing tactics and positioning, and then giving better options for a safer outcome.  In addition, there will be supervised class participation in chosen techniques that are easy to do but that can keep you safe and/or even save your life out in the street.  Myself as well as my  extremely qualified staff will be assisting in showing you these techniques.  Prior class participants have said they have really enjoyed our classes and learned a lot of useful information that has helped them know what to do in a variety of dangerous situations.  (See our testimonials on this website).

Can children attend the class?
Image 20

This class does go over sensitive topics such as violent crime.  We do show security camera footage of violent individuals and bullies that are committing crimes attacking victims so we can show you, the public how you could have handled the situation in a safer manner.  In addition, we will be showing simple yet effective techniques you will be able to use out on the street to ensure your safety as a last resort.  If you had to use these techniques as a last resort, they will injure your attacker.  We will also be practicing these techniques.  Because of this, we suggest participants be 14 years and above, however as a parent you may feel that is still too young an age to expose your children to this information.  Although I feel this information is too important for a child not to know, as a parent you know your child’s level of maturity and whether your child can use this information responsibly.

Do you have recommendations for legal items we can use to protect ourselves?
Image 20

Yes – we will have a limited number of my approved and recommended items that are completely legal to possess and carry in California. They will be available for you to purchase after the class.  Once purchased, there are no returns.  You will need a credit or debit card to purchase these items.  Depending on supply, these items will include, tactical pens, tactical flashlights, pepper sprays, audible screamer alarms, and additional “Survive The Danger” booklets.

If I sign up and change my mind, can I get a refund?
Image 20

Yes – there will be 100% refund for anyone 8 days prior to the class.  This is to give others the opportunity to purchase your reserved seat.  If you change your mind and want to attend the class after all, you must understand that the seating may be full.  There are a limited number of seats available.
