What’s Included With Our Self-Defense Seminars?

Our Self-Defense Seminars are usually a couple of hours and aim to equip individuals across Nashville by building confidence, developing mental resilience, and fostering a mindset of personal safety and preparedness. Participants will engage in role-playing exercises and scenarios to practice decision-making, assertiveness, and effective self-defense strategies under realistic conditions.

Students can expect to learn additional self-defense strategies such as:

• Situational Awareness: Learn how to assess your surroundings, identify potential risks, and make informed decisions to ensure personal safety.
• Vulnerable Targets: Learn about the vulnerable targets on the human body and how to effectively strike or apply pressure to incapacitate an assailant.
• Verbal De-Escalation: Learn how to use effective communication and assertiveness skills to defuse potentially dangerous situations and avoid physical confrontation whenever possible.

The seminar will conclude with a question-and-answer session, where participants can seek clarification on specific techniques or scenarios.
