Before physical contact
Pay attention to your surroundings, 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, bat mitzvah girls and mothers, friends 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 time for questions, another attempt and the enjoyment of 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.
Watch, then try it yourself
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 people you know
With friends, with daughters and mothers or with your team from work. Practicing together adds interest and challenge to the session, alongside personal safety skills and principles.
A workshop offers a focused introduction and a chance to 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's teaching your group?
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?
Agree on the location and session length with Ran. You can get in touch with a place and date already chosen, or just an initial idea. Before confirming, check that the space, equipment and time available 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.
Teen girls, mothers and daughters, and work teams bring different questions and interests. The content depends on who is coming and what the group wants to learn.
Bat mitzvah girls and mothers
More independence. Skills to look after yourself, too.
As girls reach an age with more freedom to go out on their own, you can set aside time together for an introduction to self-defense. Daughters and mothers learn and practice together, with room for everyone's questions and the enjoyment of practicing together.
When planning: the girls' ages, who will be in the group and the topics you want to raise. Practice is chosen to suit their age and experience.

Focus on your personal safety.
Explore threatening situations and ways to respond, alongside hands-on self-defense practice. Come with friends or a group of women from your organization, learn with a friend you're comfortable practicing with and ask questions you might hesitate to raise in a lecture.
When planning: the group's concerns, previous experience and the level of practice that fits.

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 groupCompanies and work teams
A team session with lessons beyond work.
A martial arts and self-defense workshop for employees or a management team: learn personal safety principles, watch a demonstration and practice with a partner. The shared challenge and partner work offer a different way to spend time together while learning something that matters outside work, too.
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.
