Hands On Self Defense Training
The majority of the training we provide is private training (y'all get more personal, way rowdier and enjoy much more laughter with your friends!). Reach out to set up private training!
However, we have great relationships that like to host this essential and lifesaving information with public offerings. These, too, are by request.
Find upcoming public offerings on our Facebook page. If you don't see the class you want, ask for it to be set up!
Better than Self Defense
For anyone ages 8 to 108 of ANY fitness or skill level.
Whether you've never taken a self-defense class or taken them all, have a black belt, or even if you rock weapons - this will compliment and exponentially improve what you've got going on.
As always, the focus is on prevention, avoidance and de-escalation with tools appropriate to use on literally anyone - even your own mom, if necessary. You don't have to mess up your hair if you don't want to, but either way, when you leave you will be better able to avoid, evade, escape and defend from potentially traumatic experiences.
While most people only ever want 2 hours or so of training, we prefer to provide (and recommend) 8 hours of learning (in 2 sessions).

Our Super, Secret Weapon
This short offering is suggested for driving age and up.
What is it? It's our dirty little secret!
It's not actually dirty or a secret; it's just fun and amazing. Even better, it's completely practical as well as legal. We tell you about it in person because we love watching your eyes light up in excitement at its simplicity and effectiveness.
This empowering training will change the way you carry yourself making it abundantly clear that you've got it going on. Every new driver absolutely needs this.
Train as long as you need to feel ready to take on anything that comes your way (usually 1-1.5 hours).

"The information also stuck with me more than I would have guessed...in the last two months I was in 2 separate situations where I used what I learned, identified the potential threat/risky situation, and reacted quickly and more safely than I would have before the training." - Nina H. in West Bloomfield, MI
PREPARED Kids™
This training is for kiddos ages 3-8 and tweens & teens.
Watch your kids be introduced to their power, learn effective boundaries and adopt a progressive plan that introduces skills from prevention all the way to appropriate defense.
While we prefer sharing this message through reading lighthearted, solution-oriented kids' books along with related demonstrations and activities, for more mature children this can also be provided with a Power Point more like many of our other offerings.
Though recommended as a series, this can also be taken as a one-time class.
