This online seminar held via Zoom picks up where our sold-out “Takedown Defense & Survival” webinar left off — this 1-hour event will teach you how to fight back when you’re flat on your back.

The problem now is … how do you stand up without getting your teeth kicked in?
This online seminar held via Zoom is the third and final session in our “Antigrappling” series of webinars. This 1-hour event will teach you how to safely and quickly get off the ground so you can fight back.
Forget the berimbolo, the de la Riva guard, or a flying armbar. This webinar will give you street-effective and realistic concepts and techniques that can help you get to your feet to flee or finish the fight.

EVENT:
Super Seminar & Fundraiser
EVENT DETAILS:
We’re teaming up Vision Quest Martial Arts to co-host a once-in-a-lifetime training opportunity that will also bring awareness and raise funds for a great charitable cause.
This two-day fundraising seminar gives you a hands-on smorgasbord of traditional martial arts and modern fighting systems from some of the very best.
There will be sessions on a wide array of combat arts from around the globe, including:
- Kuntao Silat de Thouars
- Gow Ren Lu Kempo
- Inner Wave Pencak Silat
- Kenpo Karate
- Silat Serak
- And more styles to be announced soon
You will learn the dynamically brutal techniques showcased in such films as John Wick, The Raid, Extraction, and The Perfect Weapon.
All proceeds will go to a charitable cause and help raise awareness of mental health among martial artists.
Warriors are traditionally expected to be stoic and strong defenders, but we’re just as emotionally and psychologically vulnerable to life’s struggles and stressors as the rest of society.
Sometimes even the most hardened self-defense instructors need support, too.

Event:
Street Combatives Seminar
Even Details:
Because in a real-life violent attack, defending against a suckerpunch and suddenly ending up on the ground getting your skull stomped in can happen in less than 2 seconds.
So, knowing how to defend yourself on your back and fighting your way up to your feet is just as important as knowing how to stop a suckerpunch ambush while standing.
We’re offering not one but two complete systems in a single seminar, which is not often taught — if at all.
You’ll learn how to:
- Spot and avoid a surprise haymaker
- Stop a bad guy from smashing in your teeth
- Prevent a violent thug from throwing you to the pavement
- Safely breakfall so you don’t break any bones if you are taken down
- Escape the dreaded “ground and pound”
- Deliver knockout shots even if you’re lying flat on your back
- Safely and quickly stand up without getting your teeth kicked in
- Beat back your attacker using the most street-effective strikes

EVENT:
Tiga Tactics “Defensive Flashlight” Webinar
EVENT DETAILS:
What’s the most effective less-lethal self-defense weapon?
When your life is on the line — but you don’t have a gun or a knife — you need a tool that will stop a deadly threat regardless of your size, speed, or skill level.
A tactical flashlight is the best non-lethal tool you can carry every day for self-defense.
Why? There are several benefits:
- Its light is a long-range projectile at night, blinding bad guys at a distance
- It’s essentially a compact metal pipe that can break bones and shatter teeth
- It’s a practical everyday-carry (EDC) tool, used to illuminate in a variety of situations.
And the best part is that it’s legal virtually everywhere!
This one-hour webinar via Zoom will teach you the fundamentals of how to choose a flashlight, how to carry it, and how to deploy it quickly and effectively in a violent situation.
LENGTH:
60 minutes
