2026 SELF-DEFENSE COMBATIVES SEMINAR
06/19/26 - 06/21/26
Stress Inoculation Tests
Get ready for our Stress Inoculation Tests (SITs) with actors and props to help simulate stressful, real-world self-defense scenarios.
Team-Based Activities
Throughout the weekend, expect a variety of team-based activities designed to pit team versus team either directly or indirectly. The team with the most points by the end of the weekend receives a trophy.
Unarmed & Weapons Training
From Japanese Jūjutsu to Shinobi no Jutsu and modern combatives, to Sword and Wooden Staff training, you can expect a variety of incredible training combining both modern and traditional methods of combat.
Indoor & Outdoor Training
Half the seminar will be taught indoors while the other half will be strictly outdoors. This seminar is a rain-or-shine event. Real self-defense doesn't change because of the weather.
