The safety and well-being of our children is a top priority. We believe that practical education and situational awareness are key to preparing them for potential dangers they may encounter.

Our Annual Abduction Prevention Workshop is designed to equip kids and teenagers with the essential tools, confidence, and physical skills to protect themselves. Led by Sensei Brian Simmons, who has over 25 years of experience teaching youth martial arts and safety, this community workshop focuses on actionable, age-appropriate defensive strategies.
