We focus on the ugly truth of self-defense: it's messy, it happens fast, and it requires muscle memory. During our workshops, we don't just lecture; we get your team moving to break real-world holds like bear hugs and chokeholds, teaching them to create the split-second space needed to get away safely. ### The 1026 Approach to Safety Martial arts is about more than just winning medals; it's about building the confidence to handle high-pressure situations. When we step out of our Yelahanka and Amruthahalli academies to conduct seminars for teams like Hitachi, we bring the same intensity we use for our competitive fighters. We strip away the ego and focus on what works under stress. The goal is simple: awareness, avoidance, and action. We teach your team how to read an environment, identify potential threats before they escalate, and use basic, high-leverage movements to neutralize danger. ### What Your Team Will Learn Our workshops are fully interactive. We don't believe in passive learning. Here is what we cover: * **Environmental Awareness:** How to read a room or a street and avoid being an easy target. * **De-escalation:** Using voice, posture, and presence to stop a conflict before it becomes physical. * **Escape Mechanics:** Practical drills on breaking grips, escaping wrist grabs, and getting out of chokes. * **Stress Management:** How to control your breathing and make clear decisions when adrenaline spikes. ### Why Book a Workshop? Whether it's for a corporate offsite, a team-building event, or a focused safety seminar, these sessions provide a unique opportunity for colleagues to support one another. It builds trust, breaks down barriers, and gives everyone a tangible set of skills they can actually use. We work with groups of all sizes and physical abilities. No prior training is needed—just bring an open mind and a willingness to work. ## About 1026 MMA Academy At 1026, we believe the skills that keep you safe should be accessible to everyone, not just our competitive fighters. When we come to your office, we bring the same energy and commitment we use to build champions at our academy. We are here to help your team walk with their heads held a little higher.
