Practical Self-Defense Training for Real-World Situations

  • Introduction to Basic Self-Defense (Customer Favorite)
  • Self-Defense for Women
  • Kubaton and personal safety tools

  • Ground defense fundamentals
  • Defense awareness against impact, edged, flexible, and projectile weapons

Each seminar can be adjusted based on group size, time frame, environment, and objectives.


Kubotan Self-Defense Workshop



The Kubotan is a small, legal personal safety tool that is easy to carry and effective for self-defense. It is typically a short metal stick, approximately 14 cm long, that attaches to a keychain and can be used to apply controlled pressure to specific areas of the body to help deter or escape an attacker.

Our Kubotan workshop focuses on practical, easy-to-learn techniques that do not rely on size, strength, or athletic ability. Participants learn how to use the Kubotan safely and responsibly, along with simple self-defense strategies that can be applied in everyday situations.

This workshop also includes:

  • Basic self-defense tactics usable with or without a Kubotan
  • Awareness and personal safety principles
  • Techniques designed for real-world scenarios

No prior martial arts experience is required, and participants do not need to be “in shape” to take part. All participants receive a free Kubotan along with instruction on proper use.

This seminar is a popular option for organizations looking to provide practical, hands-on self-defense training in a short, impactful format.
