Looking to hold a Vancouver corporate self-defense class or Vancouver Lunch and Learn for your employees? Our programs can be tailored for the specific needs of your company.
Corporate Self-Defense Classes
Personal Safety & Awareness Lunch and Learn
Vancouver Corporate Self-Defense Classes
We can bring all the necessary equipment to provide self-defense training at your company location at a time of your convenience. Alternatively, we can hold the class at our dojo in Richmond. Whether you want to hold a Vancouver corporate self-defense class specifically for women keeping with their unique needs in mind, or a class for both men and women in which they can learn basic self-defense skills together in one group, we can tailor a lesson plan that suits your company's needs.
While we teach prevention strategies as being the first line of defense, we also teach practical physical defenses that use gross motor skills, making them easy to learn and use while under the high stress conditions of an assault.
What Your Staff Will Learn
- 6 very practical strikes for self-defense, each of which can be learned in under 3 minutes
- Fundamentals of the "Simple Hold Escape System"
- Self-defense against attacks from the ground
- Personal safety and awareness tips in day-to-day situations
- How to perform verbal de-escalation
- How to react to an attack
- How items in your personal surroundings can be used as "weapons of opportunity"
You'll also receive a hand-outs with street safety information. The class is led by our dojo instructors Lori O'Connell Sensei, 4th degree black belt and Chris Olson Sensei, 1st degree black belt.
Participants should have comfortable clothes to move in and a pair of clean running shoes. Water bottles are also recommended. Each participant must sign our company's liability waiver before class.

Personal Safety & Awareness Vancouver Lunch and Learn
If you don't have the space or the time for a corporate self-defense class, but you still want the opportunity for your staff to learn information that will contribute to their personal safety in their day-to-day lives, we also have a Vancouver Lunch and Learn class. This class is informational in orientation, requiring no special equipment or space beyond a pen and some paper should your participants wish to take notes. It can be tailored to your office's audience as necessary, for an all-male, all-female, or a mixed group. Your instructor will come to your workplace so your staff can "Lunch & Learn" conveniently.
What Your Staff Will Learn
- Personal safety and awareness tips in day-to-day situations
- How to perform verbal de-escalation
- Ways of reacting to an attack that will increase chances of safe escape
- How items in your personal surroundings can be used as "weapons of opportunity"
- Any safety considerations for specific scenarios that you request
Lunch and Learn Rate
- One 1-hour session (45 minute talk with 15-minute Q&A period): $90
Our Vancouver Lunch & Learn classes need not be held during lunch if you prefer. It can be a "lunchless" class so to speak. Class sizes are only really limited to your own space constraints, but they tend to be more personal when limited to smaller groups, no larger than 20. Please contact us to set up an appointment for a Lunch and Learn class at your place of business.
