Customized self-defense training designed exclusively for workplace teams and leaders.
Empowerment Self-Defense for the Workplace
Confidence. Boundaries. Safety.
Workplace wellness isn’t just about yoga classes and meditation apps—true wellness includes personal safety, assertive communication, and the confidence to navigate difficult situations.
At Arise, we specialize in empowerment self-defense workshops that help employees feel safer, stronger, and more equipped to manage real-world challenges at work and beyond. These workshops blend practical self-defense, assertive communication, and mindset training—tailored to the needs of today’s diverse and high-pressure workplaces.

Our programs support individuals and teams across industries, including:
Healthcare & Social Services
Hospitality & Tourism
Real Estate & Property Management
Retail & Customer Service
Education & Childcare
Corporate & Professional Services
Transportation & Public-Facing Roles
Customer-facing industries—especially hospitality and real estate—are seeing increased risks of verbal and physical violence. Our workshops equip employees with the skills to de-escalate conflict, set boundaries, and respond to safety concerns with clarity and confidence.
Women in leadership roles often face unique safety and boundary challenges, both in and outside the workplace. Whether it's confidently navigating solo business travel, setting firm limits in male-dominated spaces, or handling power dynamics in high-stakes environments, our sessions empower women with tools that reinforce their presence, voice, and personal safety.
We offer private coaching and group sessions tailored for executive women, leadership cohorts, and women’s networks within organizations.
