The alarming statistics associated with violence against children necessitated an urgent need for a passionate and experienced Self Defense Instructor. Mixed Martial Arts RFL champion Shiaeine Blake accepted the challenge to lead the charge.

Shiaeine is more than just a fighter! He is also a personal trainer who is passionate about health and wellness. Our non-profit initiative is designed to teach essential self-defense skills to boost confidence and self-esteem. The program emphasizes the “Three D’s” of self-defense for personal protection.

The first D is detection, characterized by projecting confidence and awareness to deter predators. De-escalation is the second D to neutralize a threat by separating from the situation safely. As a last resort, the third D is defense for using practical techniques to protect oneself and get home safely.

Shiaeine is making a significant impact on the lives of those he serves. In addition to techniques, he is teaching participants about the do’s and don’ts of personal safety, body awareness and healthy boundaries. This holistic approach empowers children and adults to make informed decisions.
