Suicide, violence, assault and addiction are epidemic across tribal communities. [National research has shown that childhood trauma is an underlying cause of many disparities including substance abuse, domestic violence, diabetes, heart disease, early death and much more.] However, unfortunately, one recent study has found that support services and especially preventative services are fragmented or even missing throughout the tribal nations.

Our Response 

​

We teach a go-to, custom flow for students wishing to learn Self Offense, a proactive and instinctual offense  against any weak-minded attacker who immediately becomes the one under attack. There is a  distract-attack-finish-and-go flow that is unique and therefore natural, to each of us. Know it, visualize it and become stronger and more confident in the world. 

​

Our Self Offense workshops are available to all.  In these workshops, protectors learn a practical set of skills to be able to keep and share within their own communities. Participants who know of a need for further instruction within their communities have the option to apply for scholarship. The scholarship provides an avenue for a community advocate to invite our experienced trainers to customize a training program with them and support its development into a strong, impactful community.
