Basic Self Defense workshop

Self-defense isn’t only about knowledge, it’s about having the confidence and the ability to use the information that’s available to you.

 

Our Women’s Self Defense workshops teach real-world skills that focus on avoiding and deterring an assailant. We work with you to build confidence and to develop instinctive habits that you can use to protect yourself in any situation – in private, at the workplace, or in social settings.

 

The empowerment of knowing how to defend yourself extends far beyond the workshop itself. Confidence and personal accountability are necessary skills for self-defense that also enable you to be more effective in your personal and professional lives.

 

Our sessions are 2 hours long and recommended for ages 13 years old and older.

 

We also offer workshops at a variety of levels, including: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Conceal Carry Advance.

Corporate
Self-Defense

Give your employees a training that supports both personal safety and workplace well‑being. Our Corporate Self‑Defense Workshop is a high‑impact, hands‑on session that teaches employees how to recognize threats early, set boundaries clearly, and use simple physical techniques when necessary.

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Women’s ERGs and DEI initiatives

  • Health & wellness programs

  • Team‑building events

  • Safety‑focused organizations

Your team will learn:

  • Threat recognition and early‑warning cues

  • Verbal boundary‑setting to de‑escalate situations

  • Physical self‑defense fundamentals that work under stress

  • Escape strategies for common grabs and holds

We bring a supportive, high‑energy environment that encourages participation, builds confidence, and leaves teams feeling empowered.
