classes & workshops

Seattle Self-Defense is taught by world class Tae Kwon Do athletes with over 25 years of martial arts experience. We welcome all students regardless of experience or athleticism. No matter your skill, you do not need to be a trained martial artist to defend yourself. We emphasize the importance of confidence and internal strength and want individuals to leave every class feeling empowered.  

company workshops & Community Events

Offer your employees a valuable skill in a safe and fun environment. Our company workshops are a condensed version of our introductory workshops and cover safe habits to take outside of the classroom, along with basic strikes and blocks. We customize each of our workshops to fit the needs of your employees and can vary in size and length.

Empowerment and self-confidence complement your mission? We would love to partner with you on an event!

Curriculum

Introductory: Depending on class size and time, our workshops dive into the basics of avoiding conflict, body language, self-awareness, confidence, and verbal self-defense. We teach you how to strike and block properly, while being aware of your body movement and stance. You will then practice these skills through various attacking scenarios like choke holds, attacks from behind, hair and wrist grabs, and more.
Advanced: Building on our introductory workshops, we cover more advanced attacks, ground work, and weapons. We require individuals to take our introductory course before participating in this class.
