Free & Open to the PublicFollowing our Self-Awareness & Threat Response Training, we will be offering a hands-on Self-Defense Training (Phase II) led by Praesidium Threat Management Group.This session focuses on physical response techniques used only as a last resort, when escape or concealment are no longer options. The goal is to help participants build confidence, body awareness, and the ability to act decisively under pressure.
What We’ll Cover:
Understanding when and why to engage physically
Building a stable defensive stance
Striking and blocking techniques
Using what you already have (no special strength required)
Distraction and disruption methods to create opportunity to escape
Controlled practice with trained instructors
This is a practical, movement-based class with guided drills. No experience is required. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can move in.
This training is about empowerment — knowing how to protect yourself if all other options are gone. Open to businesses, staff teams, and community members.
This is a follow-up, but you did not have to attend Phase I to participate.
