The Self-Defense Class for Children at Mira Costa College is designed to teach the principals of self-defense techniques to children that do not have the time to learn the skills on a continuous basis, this means to attend a martial art school (Dojo) for a long period of time. Sanguinetti Sensei has been involved in teaching his Self-Defense Program at the college since 1995 with remarkable results. Sanguinetti Sensei has designed this course to incorporate the most basic and efficient elements necessary to bring every participant in the class to the point to live their lives with a feeling of confidence and a sense of full awareness of their surroundings, and to be capable to recognize and react properly to a dangerous situation. The class also addresses the possible problems with "bullies" at school and how to deal with those elements. Sanguinetti Sensei constantly stresses throughout the course the importance of being able to react to any dangerous situation as second nature, a concept one acquires only under constant repetition through the practice.

Even though this class is oriented for children, parents are encouraged to participate in the class with their children; not only is it good exercise for them, but they also will be able to learn the basics of self-defense and will be able to guide their children in any future progress in their children's skills.
