Background
The name of the Vitruvian Defensive Solutions finds its roots based on the Roman architect, Marcus Vitruvius Pollio commonly known as Vitruvius. He is known for works in architecture as related to the human body proportions. This proportionality was illustrated by Leonardo de Vinci in his work entitled, “The Vitruvian Man”.
At Vitruvian Defensive Solutions, we provide training that focuses on the relationship of proportionality as related to personal defense and safety.
​
Vitruvian Defensive Solutions was founded to provide professional defensive and safety training to meet the growing need for quality instruction. Vitruvian Defensive Solutions personal defensive and safety courses are based on everyone’s spatial relationship within the environment and their proportional responses to situations.
