<h2>ZERO DISTANCE: Everyday Safety &amp; Confidence in Close Quarters</h2>
Personal safety isn't about living in fear—it’s about moving through the world with confidence.
Whether you find yourself in a crowded venue, a tight hallway, or simply navigating your daily routine, knowing how to manage your personal space is a crucial life skill. This welcoming, beginner-friendly seminar is designed to teach you the fundamentals of close-quarter safety in a safe, supportive, and ego-free environment.
We strip away the complicated, flashy martial arts and focus entirely on natural, easy-to-learn movements that work for everyone, regardless of age, size, or athletic ability.
What You Will Learn:
<ul><li>Awareness &amp; Avoidance: Learn how to read your environment, identify potential red flags, and avoid uncomfortable situations before they even start.</li><li>Understanding Your Instincts: Discover how your body naturally reacts to being startled, and learn how to use that natural adrenaline to your advantage.</li><li>Setting Boundaries &amp; Creating Space: Master simple, effective ways to control your personal space, use your voice, and safely push back if someone gets too close.</li><li>Navigating Tight Spaces: Practical strategies for feeling secure and finding exit routes in confined areas like hallways, vehicles, or crowds.</li><li>Safe Escapes: The ultimate goal is always to get home safely. Learn how to create an opening and safely disengage.</li></ul>
