Practical Rights of Self-Defense

Practical Rights of Self-Defense started with Filipino martial arts—Maestro Kim Richard's discipline for three decades—and evolved into something much broader. When a student suggested pistol training would complement traditional weapons instruction, Richard realized the connection: Filipino martial arts, CPR certification, and pistol training naturally work together. Today the operation combines all three.
