The Curriculum
What You Will Learn in This Workshop

Verbal strategies to defuse confrontations and control aggressive individuals without physical contact.
Boundary Setting

Self-Defense Fundamentals
Tested, biomechanically sound techniques for defending yourself when everything else fails. Works for any fitness level.
Everyday Scenario Training
Drills for the moments that actually happen, parking lots, gas stations, hotel hallways, ride-shares, and crowded public spaces.
Family Protection Mindset

Your Instructor
Franck Pala, 25 Years of Real-World Protection
Franck Pala is not a YouTube self-defense instructor. He is a working executive protection specialist with over 25 years of operational experience spanning Special Units Instructor Contractor training, professional boxing, international protection details, fugitive recovery, and law enforcement instruction. He has protected executives, trained government agencies, and operated across continents.
His proprietary methodology is built on biomechanics, how the human body actually moves under stress, not flashy techniques that look good on camera. When you train with Franck, you are learning from someone who has done it. Not someone who teaches about it.
Everyone Is a Protector
Who This Is For
If there is anyone in your life you would step in front of a threat for, this workshop is for you.
For Parents & Spouses
You're already the protector. Your kids look at you when something feels off. Your partner trusts you to act if it goes bad. That responsibility doesn't go away because you're tired, untrained, or hoping nothing happens. This workshop gives you the tools to actually protect the people you love, at the park, in the parking lot, on vacation, at home.
You don't need to be a fighter. You need to be prepared. Your ticket includes a +1 free, so bring your spouse, your kid, or whoever you would step in front of for. Two hours of training together is the difference between freezing and acting when seconds matter.
For Everyday Civilians
You're a professional, a friend, a son or daughter, a neighbor. You move through the world every day, restaurants, gas stations, gyms, ride-shares, travel, and you have no idea what you'd actually do if something went wrong. Most people don't. The instinct kicks in, but the body has nothing to fall back on.
This isn't martial arts. It isn't theory. It's the muscle memory and situational awareness that working executive protection professionals rely on, taught in a way regular people can absorb in two hours.
What People Are Saying
As featured in training with UFC fighters, law enforcement agencies, and international security professionals.
Someone Is Counting On You
Your wife. Your husband. Your kids. Your mom. Your dad. Whoever you love, they expect you to keep them safe. Not because you asked for the role, but because you're the one they look at when something feels wrong. The instinct is already there. What most people are missing is the training to back it up. Hope is not a plan. Love is not a skill set.
The World Changed. Most People Didn't.
Threats that used to feel distant are now local, in your parking lot, your hotel lobby, your kid's school pickup, your grocery store. And the self-defense content flooding your feed? Most of it will get you hurt. The techniques look good on camera and fail in real life. Being a protector isn't about fear. It's about being the calm, capable person in the room when seconds matter, and that only comes from real training.

Good, most attendees haven't. This workshop assumes you have zero background. The whole point is that everyday people, regardless of age, gender, or fitness, can become genuinely capable protectors in a short amount of time. You'll leave knowing things you didn't know you didn't know.
Because protection is a team. The people closest to you should be on the same page about how you move through threats together, who reacts first, where to go, how to communicate.
