Corporate Self-Defense Training Lake Norman

CORPORATE SELF-DEFENSE & SAFETY TRAINING

Delivered at Your Facility or Ours in the Lake Norman and Charlotte Area

Forget "Run, Hide, Fight." Here's What Actually Keeps Your People Alive.

Workplace violence, active killer events, and executive travel risks are not theoretical. They happen to real companies, including the ones that never thought it would happen to them.

Practical, professional safety training for corporate teams of 10 or more, delivered by a former French Foreign Legionnaire and professional bodyguard with over 40 years of real-world experience.

The Problem Most Companies Don't Want To Think About

HR has a policy. Facilities has a plan. Someone laminated a poster about "Run, Hide, and Fight" and put it next to the fire exit.

And, if something actually happens, your people will freeze, because reading a poster or watching a video is not training.

Workplace violence incidents, active shooter/killer events, and executive travel threats are increasing. The companies that handle them well aren't the ones with the best policy documents. They're the ones whose people actually know what to do.

That's the difference between a policy and a trained team. And that's what we provide.

Who's Trusted Us With Their Training?

We've delivered corporate safety and self-defense training for organizations including Ernst & Young, Keller Williams, The Junior League, SunTrust Bank, and The Civil Air Patrol.

When a company brings us in, they're not getting a PowerPoint presentation and a certificate. They're getting hands-on, practical training led by an instructor who has spent his career in environments where the wrong decision has real consequences.

The Instructor

Nick Hughes spent years providing personal protection for members of the Saudi royal family, international VIPs, and touring rock stars. He served in the French Foreign Legion's parachute regiment, where he taught unarmed combat to the troops. He also worked as an MP and in their bureau of security.

He is a best-selling author, a lifelong student of martial arts, and has been teaching real-world self-defense for over 40 years

When Nick trains your staff, he's not drawing on a curriculum he learned in a classroom. He's drawing on decades of experience in situations most corporate trainers have only read about or seen in movies.

The training I received at the CIA was comprehensive, but Nick's teachings transcend those experiences in both depth and application. Finding a skilled fighter who is also an exceptional teacher is rare, and Nick embodies this combination perfectly."

— Lochlan A., Chief of Intelligence Operations

What We Offer

Active Shooter/Killer Protocol

Most active shooter training is designed to tell your staff how the police will respond. That's interesting, but it's not what keeps your people alive.

The average active shooter event is over before law enforcement arrives. What your employees do in those first few moments determines everything.

Our program will teach you and your staff exactly what YOU need to do -- and it's NOT "Run, Hide, Fight." That protocol was designed for a different context. We teach a practical, field-tested approach based on real-world threat response, delivered in a dynamic, hands-on session tailored to your facility and layout.

Your staff will leave knowing exactly what to do, where to go, and how to make fast decisions under pressure.

Delivered at your facility. Tailored to your team and floor plan.

Executive Travel Security

We offer executive travel security training designed to prepare professionals for the unique risks faced while on the move—delivered conveniently at your facility.

This practical, hands-on course covers situational awareness, threat avoidance, hotel and vehicle safety, and tactics based on our experience in VIP Protection.

While the training is suitable for all executives, it also addresses the heightened risks often faced by women traveling alone, providing strategies for staying safe and responding effectively under pressure.

Delivered at our facility or yours.

Security Team Training

Your security personnel are your first line of response. Their training should relfect that.

We provide advanced Krav Maga-based training for corporate security teams, delivered on-site at your facility.

This intensive program enhances your team’s ability to identify threats, de-escalate confrontations, and respond decisively to physical aggression or workplace violence.

With a focus on real-world scenarios, including active shooter response, escort procedures, and defensive tactics, our training sharpens both individual and team readiness, ensuring your security personnel are prepared to protect staff and assets with confidence and control.

Min 8 participants. Delivered at our facility or ours.

Team Building

With Something To Show For It

Most team building is forgotten by Monday morning.

Our team-building self-defense workshops are designed to create a shared, memorable experience that brings people together outside the usual work environment.

Held at our facility or yours, these sessions introduce practical Krav Maga techniques in a fun, inclusive format—no prior experience needed.

As your team learns new skills side by side, they’ll break down barriers, build mutual respect, and share plenty of laughs, making it a powerful way to strengthen team bonds while gaining valuable personal safety tools.

Available for groups of 10 or more. Suitable for mixed fitness levels and ages.
