THE FLOWGUARD™ ACCELERATOR

2-MONTH SELF DEFENSE FUNDAMENTALS

The Problem: The Confidence Illusion

You've taken self-defense classes.

Maybe multiple programs.

Group drills. Techniques. Scenarios.

But if someone grabbed you right now—hard, aggressive, no warning—would your body know what to do?

Most people answer honestly: "I'm not sure."

That uncertainty is what I call The Confidence Illusion.

You feel like you've done something. You worked out. You learned moves. You left feeling stronger.

But deep down, you're still not certain.

And what happens when you're traveling overseas in two months?

When your daughter leaves for university in London?

When your son starts that job in New York and you want him equipped before he goes?

Will those comfortable drills you practiced in a group class still be there when chaos actually hits?

When adrenaline spikes? When there's no instructor watching? When someone's blocking your path in a dark street and you're alone in an unfamiliar city?

The Confidence Illusion is dangerous because it makes you think you're ready when you're not.

And for people who travel—or whose children travel—that illusion can have real consequences.

The Process: The FlowGuard™ Accelerator

FlowGuard™ is a self-defense system I developed specifically for people who need certainty, not theory.

Not sport-based training. Not techniques that only work when your partner cooperates.

Readiness that stays with you—whether you're in Singapore, Tokyo, London, or walking alone down an unfamiliar street at night.

This isn't a gym. It's not a commercial facility.

It's honest, focused training in a simple open-air sheltered area where I live in Bukit Panjang.

Just you and me. Or you and one training partner if you prefer.

10 sessions. One-on-one. Accelerated over 6-8 weeks.

We cover:

Awareness Over Reaction—recognizing threats before they escalate, reading body language, understanding positioning wherever you are

Proportional Response—what's legally defensible, how to stop threats without excessive force, how to escape safely (in Singapore or abroad)

Instinct Over Memorization—training responses until your body executes them automatically, so they're still there months later when you're overseas and something happens

Real scenarios: lifts, MRT stations, dark car parks, enclosed spaces, surprise encounters

Pressure tests designed to spike your adrenaline so your body learns to function under chaos—not just demonstrate techniques in comfort

By the end, you don't just "know" self-defense.

Your body has been tested under pressure enough times that hesitation is gone.

And those responses travel with you.

When your daughter walks home alone from the library in a foreign city—she's equipped.

When your son encounters an aggressive drunk outside a bar overseas—he doesn't freeze.

When you're navigating unfamiliar streets and someone's following too close—you know what to do.

Who This Is For

Expats living in Singapore who travel frequently for work

Solo travelers preparing for trips where personal safety is a concern

Parents sending children overseas for university or work—give them skills that stay with them, not techniques they'll forget

Women who've tried group classes and left still feeling uncertain

Professionals with unpredictable schedules who can't commit to fixed weekly sessions

Anyone traveling soon who needs real readiness, not the illusion of it

The Details

Format: One-on-one or 1:2 (you + one partner)

Duration: 10 sessions, typically completed over 6-8 weeks (accelerated for travelers with departure timelines)

Location: Open-air sheltered area, Bukit Panjang

Investment: $1200 for 10 sessions, no expiry

Schedule: By appointment—we find times that work for your timeline, especially if you're leaving soon

What This Isn't

This isn't a commercial gym with fancy facilities or equipment.

This isn't a group program where you're just another student repeating drills.

This isn't sport-based training designed for rules that don't exist on the street—in Singapore or anywhere else.

What This Is

Reality-based preparation for actual threats.

Personalized training that adapts to how you move and respond under pressure.

Skills that stay with your child when they're overseas, alone, and something goes wrong.

The certainty that if something happens—whether it's here or halfway across the world—your body will act, not freeze.

FlowGuard™—Hope you never need it. Know you're ready if you do.

Ready to Start?

If this approach makes sense to you, reach out.

We'll schedule an introduction session to see if this is the right fit.

Just an honest conversation about what you're looking for, your timeline, and whether FlowGuard™ can give you or your child the certainty you need before travel.

TESTIMONIALS

Sean Lim is exceptionally focused on achieving excellence. What sets him apart from the many practitioners whom I have met over the years, is that he is not content with learning techniques. Rather, he learns techniques as a way of refining himself. Think about how you can go about acquiring different ways of doing push-ups. Does acquiring 50 different ways of doing push-ups make you a better person? Sean seeks to acquire a deep understanding about his body and mind, and the interaction between the two, through his practice. This ability to nurture himself, and to cultivate his own growth, is the mark of the true artist who is on the path towards unification.

Steven Sim

I've been training with Sean for nine months. As a woman searching for self-defence in Singapore, I wanted practical skills that would develop my mind and body. After trying group martial arts classes where I felt like just another student repeating techniques, Sean's approach was completely different. He breaks down Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do principles clearly and personally. What made the difference wasn't just learning moves. It was his real-time correction and ability to push me beyond my comfort zone. Even as a female beginner, the personalized training helped me keep pace. Through his synthesis of martial arts and self-defence concepts, I've gained genuine confidence I couldn't find elsewhere. Having an instructor who truly sees your growth makes all the difference.

Amanda Lim

As coach of the Olympic sport of fencing I have seen many individuals who aspire to be great fencers. And every once in a while I will come across individuals who possess a great passion, for this western martial art, a fair bit more than others. Sean Lim is one such example. Sean is talented, a fast learner, very disciplined in the art and always striving for perfection in every aspect of the sport. Sean has great potential, is tactically sound and fearless. Qualities a great fencer should possess. In such a short time of less than a year he has achieved great results in the competitions he has taken part in, locally and overseas. Congratulations to Sean for joining the National Fencing Team. All the best, Sean.


Jeffrey Lopez

Sean is one of the most dedicated, collected and motivated individuals I know. Even in his early fencing days he knew how to shut out distractions and stay focused on his goals. He takes every failure with a serious yet positive disposition and not surprisingly he grew to be one of the best fencers in a short time. Sean is not only talented in many forms of martial arts, but also has an incredible perspective in life and is a great mentor in every aspect.

Michelle Darmawan

Sean is conscientious in his approach to martial training, always wanting to excel beyond his limit both physically and understanding. Open mind to absorb concept and principles of different martial arts system, in time a philosopher and martial artist in the making!


Ken Lau

When I first met Sean, I asked why most self defense classes in Singapore focused on memorizing sequences when I needed something that worked in real situations. What he said changed everything. He told me self defense isn't technique collection. It's internalizing principles so you can flow under pressure. Four years later, his teaching has influenced how I live and work beyond just martial arts. What sets him apart is how he translates Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do into relevant exercises drawn from actual experience. The knowledge evolves with you. What I've gained is far more valuable than learning to defend myself. I continue to grow as both a practitioner and as a person thanks to Sean's commitment to teaching what serves real growth.
