Corporate Self-Defense Seminars

Help Protect Your Company's #1 Asset!

Employers cannot afford to have one of their employees become a victim of violence - on or off the job site. Each player on the team is valuable and important to the well being of the team as a whole.

Most companies take steps to keep their employees safe and healthy through health insurance, wellness programs, and on-the-job safety training. Our self-defense seminar is one additional step companies can take to help protect their employees.

Our corporate self-defense seminar will cover awareness, body language, verbal assertiveness, use of personal items as weapons, and hand and foot techniques.

Call (610) 443-5107 to schedule a corporate self-defense seminar for your company!
