Frequently Asked Questions

Master Boodram's Combat Readiness Program (CRP) is a professional self-defence, personal protection, and tactical readiness training system designed to develop confidence, awareness, discipline, and practical skills for real-world situations. The programme combines martial arts, defensive tactics, fitness, situational awareness, and decision-making skills to prepare individuals for everyday safety challenges.

The programme is designed for everyone, including civilians, professionals, law enforcement personnel, military members, security professionals, and individuals seeking practical self-defence skills.

No previous martial arts experience is required. Training is structured to accommodate beginners through advanced practitioners.

Currently the program is delivered at physical locations in Trinidad and Tobago, and also Suriname. However, there is also an option of virtual training for those who feel so inclined to utilize those services.

Students learn how to:

• Recognize potential threats

• Apply practical defensive techniques 
• Develop confidence under pressure
