Self-Defense

Are you prepared to face the unexpected? Join us for self-defense class

In a world that demands alertness, knowing how to protect yourself is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Join our intensive 2 HOURS Self-Defense class lesson (+ stay extra hour if you want to just practice) class designed to give you the fundamental tools, techniques, and mindset needed for immediate safety.

This highly condensed course focuses on awareness, prevention, and simple, effective physical responses you can rely on when seconds count. We prioritize getting you to safety above all else.

Workshop Details

  • The “Airway Priority”: technique to instantly break front and rear chokes, ensuring you can breathe and think clearly under pressure.
  • Clothing & Control: Discover how to use an attacker’s grip against them. We’ll cover shirt and lapel grabs, teaching you how to use leverage to break their “frame” and create distance.
  • Asset Defense (Backpacks & Purses): Most thefts involve a grab of your gear. We’ll practice how to defend against being dragged by a strap, when to “shed the load,” and how to use your bag as a temporary shield.
  • Counter-Striking Foundations: Learn to use “biological tools”—palm strikes, knees, and elbows—to disrupt an attacker’s focus so you can facilitate your release.

Important Details

  • Please wear non-marking shoe soles: This helps us keep our floors in great condition.
