Still pretty stoked about this 🤙🏼

We’re already thinking about our next one, continuing to create opportunities for women to learn practical skills, and build confidence.

If you attended, we have an email coming your way with all of our follow up information + resources.

Thanks again for making this event such a success !!

EmpowHER 💪🏻🩷

Yesterday we held our very first women’s self defense seminar.

These women showed up + showed out. They learned, had important conversations, challenged themselves, and stepped outside their comfort zones.

To every woman who attended our first seminar: thank you for showing up, leaning in, and proving that preparedness is powerful. This was more than an event, it was the introduction to something bigger.

Cant wait to do this again.🤙🏼
Stay ready. Stay capable. Stay dangerous.

Watch this + then watch it again.

Because the truth is most women hope they know what to do.
Until they’re in it.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about having a plan before you need one.

May 31. Strigo Vineyards.
Real-world defense. No fluff.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign. Link in bio for tickets!

Most people train for what feels comfortable.

Distance. Space. Control.

But real violence doesn’t give you that.

Weapons entanglement is chaotic. It’s tight. It happens before your brain can catch up, and in that moment, you’re not thinking through options… you’re reacting off whatever you’ve built.

That’s the difference.

DECS doesn’t train perfect scenarios. We train imperfect, high-pressure reality where space is gone, time is gone, and your ability to move without hesitation is everything.

Train accordingly. 🤙🏼

EmpowHER: A Women’s Self Defense Seminar

UPDATE: We had a slight venue hiccup, but we’re on track for a summer seminar 🌞 And trust me, it’s going to be worth it.

This isn’t a sit-back-and-listen kind of class.
You’ll be training, moving, and learning skills that actually work when things aren’t controlled.

Real scenarios. Real techniques. Real confidence.

We’re keeping it small on purpose so every woman gets the full experience… which means • limited tickets 🌸

So if you’ve been thinking about it, don’t wait. Join the waitlist for early access !!

Because this one? It’s going to fill! 🤙🏼

Our instructors don’t just teach crisis management, they’ve lived it. Years on the front lines forged the instincts, grit, and clarity they bring into every room. This isn’t theory. It’s hard-earned skill, pressure-tested in real moments where decisions mattered.

We stay relentless about evolving, mastering the latest techniques, and pushing the standard higher - because ‘good enough’ doesn’t cut it when it counts. Every session is built to sharpen your edge, deepen your instincts, and leave you walking out not just informed… but ready. 🤙🏼

Strong. Capable. Aware.

Women are powerful, and power grows when confidence meets preparation.

Today we celebrate the women who lead, protect, support, and stand strong in every space they walk into.

A reminder: This summer we’ll be hosting EmpowerHer: A Women’s Self Defense Seminar to help women build real-world confidence and safety skills.

More details coming soon. 👊🏼

Situational Awareness: Not just “paying attention” but learning to observe, assess & decide 💪🏼

02/25/2026

A conversation that turns tense.
A customer who won’t respect boundaries.
A person lingering where they shouldn’t be.
A situation that feels “off” but no one acts yet.

This is where DECS training lives.

Not in headlines, but in everyday environments. Because most people don’t need to manage an active threat.

But many people will face:
• verbal escalation
• boundary violations
• unpredictable behavior
• crowd tension
• workplace confrontation
• public-facing risk

And in those moments, safety comes down to human factors:

Can you recognize escalation early?
Can you manage space and positioning?
Can you communicate clearly under stress?
Can you disengage or redirect safely?

These are trainable skills.

DECS prepares individuals and organizations for the reality of everyday volatility… The situations that are common, uncomfortable, and often mishandled because people were never shown what to do. Let us train you to handle not just active threats, but every day, ordinary situations that can get out of hand in a split second.
