Power to Women Corporate Self Defense aims to give women of all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels practical, everyday self-defense techniques. Unlike traditional martial arts like karate or kung fu, which often concentrated on physical power and years of training, our program focuses on instinctive, natural reaction responses that any woman can utilize in a high-stress situation. The main distinctions are:
- No rules on size & strength ~
Our Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop is accessible to all women of any size, strength, age or fitness level since it makes use of her body’s natural senses and reflex instinct. Traditional martial arts require more flexibility, power, size, and strength, which can be difficult for many women compared to any man, especially when they wear restrictive dress codes like skirt or saree.
- Easy Human Instinits ~
Our Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop imparts Krav Maga Israeli Self Defense system which is easy to learn and remember, incorporating psychological resilience skills that work well in stressful situations of a real crime scenario. Tricks and stunts from the martial arts usually include complex tricks and stunts that demand flexibility, years of learn and a great deal of daily practice.
- Designed for Real-world scenarios ~
Our Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop teaches women how to pro-actively spontaneously to real-world threats by simulating them safely in the workshop, instead of depending on premeditated martial arts tricks or stunts which are based on restrictive rules & regulations.
- Every Tactics needs only 3 to 5 minutes : Simple reflex actions make the Krav Maga Self Defense system, which is used in the Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop, easy to master in just 3-5 minutes per tactics. Traditional martial arts stunts and tricks are complicated skills that take years to learn.
- Psychological Resilience : Our Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop also prepraes the women on how to manage psychological challenges like chaos, fear, insecurity etc as these elements are used in all real life crime situations to overpower & confuse the victim.
By harnessing women body’s natural defenses and providing practical, easy-to-learn techniques, our Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop empowers women to feel confident and capable of protecting themselves, regardless of their physical abilities.

Skills
Israeli Military Krav Maga Self-Defense only. It’s based on human instincts, so it’s easy to learn. No stunts, no tricks. The primary focus is to educate how to pro-actively Prevent, Avoid and Escape. Psychological factors are taught how to diffuse, detect, and deceive threats along with Combat Science, Critical Decision-making, Guerrilla Hit-and-Run Deception Strategy, Neurobehavioural Crisis Management, Fear Counterinsurgency, Pro-Failure Conversion technique, Threat Perception, and so on.
In an ideal scenario, I would begin by evaluating and surveying the issues and obstacles related to safety that female professionals encounter, together with the viewpoints of the organisation’s female security and maintenance staff. Without a survey or assessment, I often modify the workshop based on the thousands of women participants’ safety concerns that I have heard about over the course of over two decades. In my workshop, I also present the knowledge I have acquired from years of research on criminal psychology, frequent study of strategies employed by contemporary criminal elements, inputs from HR on scenario they have faced in that particular industry and first-hand observation of people’s reactive behaviours which eventually result in attacks or fatalities.
The military, police, security, and men, women, and children in the civilian sector are all trained in Krav Maga. For every industry, a high degree of customisation is essential. My top priorities for corporate are to Prevent, Avoid, and Escape from threats without escalation of violence. As a safeguard, we also provide them with tactical training and psychological education on how to handle different degrees of violent crime. With our human instinct-based Krav Maga techniques, anyone can learn and adapt to both the psychological skill sets and the Krav Maga tactics in a few workshop hours, regardless of their size, strength, age, or fitness level. In addition, Combat Science is taught to participants so they may heal, strengthen & embrace fundamental tactics and enhance psychological aspects like fear, insecurities, failure management, lack of confidence, etc. Furthermore, we expose and educate on how to manage the chaos of crime, short timeline including the surprise element, level of violence, weapons, ambience challenges, multiple threats, etc.
Training Approach
I teach self defense using a dual perspective on criminal activity and typical human reaction factors. Managing a high intensity violent real life threat or crime is almost impossible without striking a balance on both sides of the issue. Making the workshop as fun, interesting & interactive with games, drills, and tactical exercises that help the participants comprehend the strategies presented in the methodology is the best approach to integrate the complex and wide-ranging components of crime & its various elements. Within a few hours, when they genuinely think, “I can do this,” they become warriors capable of confidently taking on challenges life will throw at them.
Real-Life Scenarios
Our workshop’s interactive components are all based on different real-life scenarios. Krav Maga is a battle-tested system where every element is embedded with a past human life who was at the edge of danger or fatality. Participants can establish a personal connection and learn how to deal with physical challenges like size, strength, fitness, age etc., as well as psychological factors like fear, chaos, confusion, small spaces etc., within various realistic crime scenarios. Based on the workshop length, participants experience repeated drills, interactive QA,combat science strategies & fun safe semi-chaotic games to help them adapt the Krav Maga Warrior Mindset.
In many of the workshop, request was to teach Krav Maga self defense to women travelling in cabs or public taxi. In elongated workshops, we request organisation to provide a actual cab and we design various repetitive drills, interactive QA, Combat Science strategies & fun safe semi-chaotic games in & around the car. For a specialist, my most satisfying moments is when the participants’ nervous laughing transforms into a confident analysis of the obstacles they face in front of them in real time and their eyes change from fear to powerful leaders who have learnt how to handle an adverse situation with competence.
