In 2023, the City of Toronto declared gender-based violence an epidemic.
The need for awareness, prevention and practical safety education continues — including in our workplaces and communities.
This Fall, Combat Science - Warrior Arts of Asia is expanding our partnerships with businesses, organizations, schools and community groups looking to strengthen safety, confidence and well-being within their teams and communities.
Our trauma-informed Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) programs can be adapted for:
• Employee and staff training
• Workplace wellness and safety initiatives
• Team-building and professional development
• Student and campus programs
• Community and cultural organizations
• Youth and newcomer programs
• Women’s and GBV-focused organizations
Sessions can include:
• Practical personal safety and self-defense skills
• Situational awareness and safety planning
• Boundary-setting and assertive communication
• Confidence, empowerment and resilience
• Trauma-informed and culturally responsive strategies
The goal is to give people practical tools and greater confidence to recognize situations, set boundaries, respond effectively and make safer decisions.
We’re looking to build meaningful partnerships with businesses and organizations that see personal safety, empowerment and well-being as part of a healthy workplace and community.
If your organization is considering a staff workshop, workplace wellness initiative, team experience or community safety program this Fall, let’s connect and explore what might be a good fit.
Empowering individuals and communities through practical self-defense education since 2003.
