Street-smarts for you and your crew
Strategies – Psychology – Practical Martial Arts
Self-defense is not just being able to physically defend yourself – importantly it’s about preparation, recognizing the signs, and having a strategy that can be used under pressure.
Oakstrong Martial Arts offers public seminars for individuals and private self-defense seminars for small groups. We specialize in self-defense for women, teens, schools, business teams, and social workers – we understand the specific situations, threats, and concerns being faced. Each year we teach at the middle and high schools to help keep kids safe.
Our seminars will make you smarter, safer, and more able to defend yourself.
Our self-defense teachings…
The last thing we want is for you to get into a violent physical encounter. Our self-defense curriculum covers so much more to keep you out of trouble…
- Strategies – How to recognize threats and understand the stages of a violent encounter. Also, a simple mental framework to evaluate if a situation could become dangerous, setting boundaries and giving consent.
- Psychology – How the mind reacts in self-defense situations and how to deal with such. Also, how threatening situations escalate and how to defuse such.
- Practical martial arts – Physical karate techniques that are easy to learn, remember, and apply under pressure if you absolutely need to.
For each private seminar seminar, the teaching is customized to the unique needs of your group and situations they face on a day-to-day basis.
We understand that most people have no formal training in self-defense or martial arts – our seminars are geared to be practical, easy to learn, and more importantly, easy to use.
Seminars are a serious – but fun – combination of participant practice, lively discussion, and instructor demonstration.
