Practical self-defense, taught honestly.
Each Apex self-defense event focuses on a small number of practical problems rather than pretending one workshop can prepare someone for every situation. We start with awareness and de-escalation, then work on creating space, escaping, falling safely, and controlling a threat only when leaving is not possible.
False confidence is dangerous. Our workshops use clear instruction and carefully scaled resistance so beginners can understand what a technique requires and where its limits are. The subject is serious, but the room is patient and approachable.
No martial-arts experience is required. Event details, audience, length, and booking information will be published when each workshop is announced.
Want to start jiu-jitsu as a beginner instead?
Our weekly schedule is eight No-Gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes, taught to one standard whether it's your first week or your fifth year.
Your first No-Gi class is free. Tell us what you've trained before — including nothing — pick any class on the schedule, and the coach will know you're new before you arrive.
