Our workshops are designed to provide instruction to all ages, genders, and fitness levels.

We do our best to work with rather than for community by finding out what their safety needs are pre-workshop, rather than providing a prescriptive “one-size-fits-all” workshop.

We are committed to providing a culturally safe environment that respects and prioritizes Indigenous values, teachings, and ways of knowing.

We won’t show you strategies or self-defence maneuvers that we wouldn’t feel confident using in our own day-to-day lives. Every instructor has 10+ years of defensive training from a wide background.

Learning self-defense is like brushing your teeth: it won’t work if you just try it once. We are committed to providing sustainable options and resources to participants who want to continue their pursuit of learning self-defense.
