Urban Survival Seminar at Forteza Fitness!

Johnny Tsai founder/director of the renowned C.U.M.A. Survival School will be teaching a one day course at Forteza on urban survival.

What is “urban survival”? Ask yourself this short list of questions:

  • What would you do if the power grid in your state went out for several weeks?
  • Are you prepared to deal with the aftermath of a hurricane or earth quake situation?
  • Do you have enough supplies and equipment to be able to survive for several weeks?
  • How would you deal with a home invasion?
  • Do you know how to evacuate your area in the case of civil unrest?

These are just some basic questions you need to have an answer for!

On our 1-day Urban Survival Training Courses, we will give you the knowledge needed to make the best of things in a disaster situation. We will teach you how to plan and prepare to deal with the problems you will face.

This class is designed to prepare you and your family to survive an urban disaster, either natural or man made. Hands-on instruction focuses on both short-term situations ranging from 24 to 72 hours as well as long-term survival resulting from a grid-down situation or pandemic.
