Before physical contact
Notice what is happening around you, recognize a threatening situation and explore ways to respond. Self-defense also involves judgment and knowing when to step away from a confrontation.
Ran Steinberg · Workshops for civilian groups
Learn to defend yourself.
Give it a try together.
Self-defense workshops for women, teen girls and boys, bar and bat mitzvah groups with a parent or guardian, organizations and work teams. Explore ways to respond to a threatening situation, watch a demonstration and start practicing.
You can start with no martial arts experience. Ran adapts the explanation, practice and level of contact to the people taking part, with room to ask questions, try again and enjoy learning together.

What can you learn in a workshop?
Pay attention.
Understand. Practice.
Self-defense combines judgment with practical skills. Choose the topics and exercises with Ran, based on the group and its goal.
From a demonstration to your own practice.
Ran explains and demonstrates, then gives you time to practice. Try a movement, get guidance and feel what changes when you try again. The content and level of contact are adapted to age and experience.
Learn with the people you came with.
With a friend, with a parent and child, with a group of teenagers or with your work team. Practicing together adds interest and challenge to the workshop, alongside practical personal-safety tools and principles.
A workshop offers a focused introduction to self-defense principles and a chance to try them in practice. Self-defense skills develop through practice over time.
You can also contact Ran on behalf of a school, parent committee or community group to plan a session around your group.
Who leads the workshop?
Years of martial arts experience.
Attention to the person learning.
Ran regularly teaches kids, teens and adults, and leads workshops and seminars in Israel and abroad.
Alongside his professional experience, he works every day with people starting from scratch. He knows that a movement that looks clear in a demonstration may need another explanation when it's your turn to try.
You don't need a group to train.
You can choose regular adult classes or private training with Ran.
Before setting a date
The details that turn
an idea into a session.
Do we need martial arts experience?
An introductory workshop can be planned for a group with no experience. Ran needs to know in advance who is coming, the age range and whether any adaptations are needed. The practice is chosen accordingly.
Where does the session take place, and how long is it?
The location and session length are agreed with Ran. You can contact him with a location and date already in mind, or with just an initial idea. Before confirming, check that the space, equipment and available time suit the planned practice.
What does it cost, and what should we prepare?
Ran provides a quote based on the group, content and scope of the session. The conversation also covers participant numbers, level of contact and what needs to be arranged at the venue, so the details are clear before you book.
Who is the workshop for?
Different people.
Different reasons to learn.
Every group arrives with different questions and goals. The content is chosen according to who is coming and what the group wants to learn.
Bar and bat mitzvah groups with a parent or guardian
More independence. Practical tools for personal safety.
Around a bar or bat mitzvah, as children become more independent and start going out more often, they and a parent or guardian can explore self-defense together. There is room for questions, hands-on practice and the enjoyment of sharing an activity that can also strengthen their connection.
When planning the workshop, consider the participants’ ages, the makeup of the group, who the accompanying parent or guardian is, and the topics that matter. The practice is adapted to age and experience.

Learn practical tools for your personal safety.
Explore threatening situations and possible responses, alongside hands-on self-defense practice. Come on your own, with a friend or as a group, and ask the questions that may be harder to raise in a lecture.
When planning: the group's concerns, previous experience and the level of practice that fits.
That's my groupTeen girls and boys
An introduction to self-defense as independence grows.
Plan an introduction to personal safety principles and self-defense practice. Ran adapts the explanation, content and level of contact to the group's age and experience, with room for curiosity, challenge and questions along the way.
When planning: ages, the educational setting and what the group wants to learn. An introductory session can be arranged for a group with no previous experience.
That's my groupOrganizations and work teams
A team-building activity with practical value.
Alongside the self-defense content, the workshop can also serve as a team-building activity through shared challenges, partner work and an experience the team goes through together.
When planning: the purpose of the event, who is taking part and the time available. The conversation can also focus on the needs of your workplace.
