In the event that physical response becomes absolutely necessary, we prepare you with realistic physical skills that work under stress and pressure in any situation and environment.

We offer a range of workshops that can be customized to focus on different topics such as self-defence for women, self-defence for everyone, de-escalation and communication, personal safety, or a combination of these.
