"It is essential for civilians to be proactive in assessing potential risks and taking steps to enhance their personal security. Everyday civilians can perform on-the-spot advance work, similar to professional bodyguards, to safeguard themselves during various activities, such as dining out, (shopping, running errands), or planning vacations. By adopting these practices, individuals can develop a heightened sense of awareness and take proactive measures to protect themselves in their daily lives." - Sifu Alan Baker

Through a blend of classroom instruction, real-world scenarios, and tactical exercises, you’ll learn to detect threats before they appear, manage dynamic environments, and safeguard others without drawing attention. Each session sharpens your ability to remain calm, decisive, and invisible—turning preparation into instinct.

This seminar is more than training; it’s a mindset. You’ll leave with proven tools to anticipate risk, adapt under pressure, and uphold the duty of watchfulness in any environment.
