Women's Self-Defense Workshops
“It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”
— Miyamoto Musashi
This two-day introductory self-defense workshop for women will teach you how to stay safe, respond effectively under pressure, and move with strength and clarity — regardless of your size, age, or experience.
Through practical training, breathwork, and real-world scenarios, you’ll walk away with skills that can make a life-changing difference.
Awareness and safety strategies
How to stay calm and focused under stress
Zones of safety & defensive positioning
Conflict avoidance & de-escalation
Generating real stopping power
Using elbows, knees, and your full body effectively
Verbal and nonverbal boundary-setting
Turning everyday objects into tools of protection
Responses to common attacks
The importal of situational awarness
Ground defense
How you can protect yourself if you're thrown to the ground or pinned down
How to utilize everyday implements to defend yourself
Maintaining balance and controlling distance to avoid being taken down
Reading an opponent's intent through body language and movement cues
With over 48 years of martial arts experience, I’ve dedicated my life to studying, practicing, and teaching systems of empowerment and protection. I hold a 5th-degree black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, and I’m a recognized Guru in Kun Tao Silat. I’ve trained extensively in edged weapons, Kali, Silat, and a wide range of striking and grappling arts.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing these teachings with thousands of students — and some of the most rewarding experiences have been working with women and girls, helping them step into their strength, reclaim their space, and move through the world with more confidence and clarity.
This workshop draws from what I’ve found to be most effective — ancient principles, real-world scenarios, and tools for body, mind, and spirit.
