Practical Situational Awareness Training and Personal Safety Skills for Everyone

Violent encounters take only seconds and are over faster than it takes police to respond. Wouldn’t it be better to avoid confrontation in the first place?

Our personal safety training is a preventative/proactive program that teaches you how to use situational awareness to navigate your surroundings, and avoid conflict by exposing criminals and their tactics. You will learn real world safety skills that help you avoid potentially threatening situations and you will know how to respond in stressful situations.

We’ve trained everyone with our easy to follow, step by step programs – from teenagers to corporate security directors of large corporations and hospitals. We also offer targeted training for realtors, property managers, hospital staff, lone workers, and travelers.

Our safety training is used and trusted by security directors of large corporations, the U.S. Court System, universities, and law enforcement agencies worldwide.

We Help You Develop a Personal Safety Plan

To avoid threats and predators, our courses teach you to have a self-defense mindset so you can be your own first responder. You’ll learn about:
  • The body language and verbal defenses that instantly repel most criminals.
  • Recognize pre-attack body indicators of a potential attacker and learn common criminal tactics.
  • Safety tips for parking lots, running paths, stairwells, elevators, gas stations and other fringe areas.
  • Basic self-defense techniques and simple intuitive moves.
  • Personal protective hardware that’s right for you.
  • De-escalation skills and situational awareness training.

“Preparedness results in clear thinking when you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Remember, “It’s better to have the skills and not need them, than need the skills and not have them!”
