The A.C.W.A. self‑defense seminars are customized to meet your exact needs.

Be Prepared.
Refuse to be a victim.
Our world is becoming more dangerous every day. Nothing can guarantee your safety, but you can take an active role and do everything possible to control your destiny and prevent yourself from becoming a statistic.
That's the idea behind every A.C.W.A. self‑defense seminar. Whether it's a sorority chapter, a group of coworkers, a church group, or a circle of friends, we bring practical, pressure‑tested self‑defense training directly to your group — no gym membership, uniform, or prior experience required.
Seminars are built around your group's specific goals, whether that's a fun team‑building event, a workplace safety requirement, or simply peace of mind. We work closely with your representatives to make sure the seminar covers exactly what your group needs.
These groups took proactive measures to make themselves safer — now it's your turn.
An A.C.W.A. self‑defense seminar is a customized, reality‑based training event delivered to your group: sororities, employers, wellness groups, hospitals, engineering firms, manufacturing organizations, realtors, churches, schools, and private groups of friends. Rather than a fixed curriculum, each seminar is built around your group's specific goals and the situations they're most likely to face.
Sessions can be held at our Richardson, TX facility or on‑site at your location. No martial arts background, athletic ability, or special equipment is required, just a group ready to learn simple, effective, pressure‑tested tactics that work in the real world.

Their requirements were straightforward: they needed a fun team‑building event that provided immediate and effective solutions for dealing with common attack situations they may face at any time in their daily lives.
A.C.W.A. worked closely with their representatives to ensure their needs were met exactly as described, and the result was a seminar the whole chapter still talks about.

Seminars are customized to your group size, from a small circle of friends to large employer or campus groups. We've group trained groups from two people up to well over two hundred people.
Typical seminars run one to two hours, but we can also do a half‑day event if that better meets your group's objectives. We work with your representatives to design a format that fits your group's time and objectives.
Seminars can be held on‑site at your location — a business, church, school, or private venue. We also hold them at our facility in Richardson, TX, depending on what works best for your group.
No experience or special gear is required. Participants can wear normal clothes such as jeans and a t‑shirt. Seminars are designed for everyday people, not athletes or martial artists.
We work with groups of friends, sororities, large and small employers, wellness groups, hospitals, engineering firms, manufacturing organizations, realtors, churches, schools, and other organizations looking for practical self‑defense training.
It depends on your group's goals, but common topics include awareness training, verbal de‑escalation, dealing with holds, chokes, and grabs, low‑light situations, and simple instinct‑based solutions. See the full list above.
