Build Confidence With Our Self-Defense Programs Right Here In Nashville

Learn to defend yourself at Nashville MMA Training Camp. We run self-defense classes, seminars, and courses so there is more than one way in. Each one teaches techniques, strategy, and awareness that hold up in real situations.

Classes are weekly. To be notified of future seminars or courses, reach out to us directly to be put on a waiting list.

Every program starts with situational awareness: learning how to assess your surroundings, identify potential risks, and make informed decisions to ensure personal safety. From there we cover grip breaks, fundamental grappling and striking techniques, high success submissions, and defense against the most common attacks, with fitness and mobility training built into every session.

Seminars add vulnerable targets, learning where on the human body to strike or apply pressure to incapacitate an assailant, and verbal de-escalation, using effective communication and assertiveness skills to defuse potentially dangerous situations and avoid physical confrontation whenever possible.

We take time to drill these moves to give you confidence through hands-on learning and repetition. We will work with you until you are able to perform each move. We discuss the mindset and discipline needed to take ownership of your own protection.

Courses are typically 2 classes per week and run for a few weeks. Each course is unique, so please check out the specifics of each course before signing up. The curriculum is concentrated: cover the basics, drill them until they are muscle memory, and defend against the most common attacks.
