Stand Strong: Teen Self-Defense – Foundations

Workshop 1: Awareness, Boundaries & Confrontation from the Front

Dates: Saturday, November 8 & Saturday, November 15
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (each day, 2 hours total)
Location: MK Protection Strategies
📍 N88 W16741 Main St., Menomonee Falls, WI 53051

This two-week workshop is the foundation of self-defense training for teens ages 13 – 17.
Participants will learn how to stay safe through awareness, assertiveness, and simple physical strategies that anyone can use.

In this first workshop, we focus on what self-defense really is — and what it isn’t. Teens will explore how to recognize danger before it happens, how to use the power of “NO,” and how to set clear, confident boundaries. We’ll also discuss why being too polite can be risky and how to respond to confrontations from the front, including basic defensive movements against common grabs and chokes.

By the end of this series, participants will understand:

• The foundations of self-defense and the mindset behind prevention
• Social vs. antisocial violence — how to tell the difference
• What an attacker wants (and doesn’t want) from you
• Primary vs. secondary targets
• Simple front-facing defensive skills that work under stress

This workshop lays the groundwork for all future training.
Workshop 2 – “Stand Strong: Next Level” will follow, covering back and ambush defenses, ground survival, and scenario practice.

• General Admission: $40 (covers both sessions)
• Friend Add-On Ticket (Half Off): $20 – add at checkout to register a friend in the same order
• Capacity: Limited to 20 participants

• Comfortable athletic clothing and a water bottle
• Optional: clean indoor shoes or socks
• Please arrive 10 minutes early for check-in. Parents/guardians may observe the intro portion.

This course teaches pure and applied self-defense, emphasizing prevention, verbal skills, and simple physical responses that work.
No sparring, no belts — just realistic skills to keep you safe.

If a session is missed, key takeaways and practice tips will be provided.
