Self Defense Workshops

with Senior Luminous Warrior Instructors

 

We are always looking for ways to bring you interesting and exciting self defense workshops. These workshops range from hand-to-hand self defense (e.g., bearhugs, headlocks, chokes) to defenses against attacks with weapons (e.g., handguns, knives, blunt objects). We bring these techniques to you in a scenario-based training environment, and include real-world attacker profiles so you can get the most out of your training. We show you the options that are available to you and include the physical, mental and emotional skills needed to defend against attacks.

Stay tuned for 2013 workshop announcements!
