Build practical self-protection skills with a two-day seminar at The Brigade Shooting Company focused on awareness, decision-making, and hands-on practice to help you safeguard yourself and those you care about. Saturday begins with Ground Zero, a session devoted to escaping from the bottom when pinned or overpowered. Using leverage and mobility drills, you will learn to control space, protect yourself from strikes or grabs, get back to your feet, and break free. After a brief break with Q&A, the Retention block concentrates on managing distance before using any tool and keeping control of it if an attacker closes in. Expect high-repetition training and movement patterns that sharpen tactile reflexes, improve leverage, and reinforce strategies for controlling, disengaging, and retaining what you carry in close quarters. Sunday opens with Flexible Weapons, where everyday items such as belts, scarves, or rope become adaptable defensive options. Training emphasizes control, leverage, and responsiveness so you can apply simple, effective techniques in unpredictable situations. After another break with Q&A, Knife Level One and Two address the realities of edged-weapon threats. You will work empty-hand responses to common attacks, learn to manage distance, control the weapon-bearing limb, and create opportunities to escape or counter. Repetition and shared movement patterns help develop functional skills that translate to both unarmed defense and responsible knife use, building tactical awareness and confidence under pressure. This seminar is open to participants ages 13 and up. Pricing is tiered by registration period. One day is available at $89 for early purchase, $129 for standard registration, or $199 late. Both days together are offered at $149 early, $198 standard, or $339 late.

Enjoy a welcoming, mixed‑level yoga session with Jim that blends a mindful flow and a soothing stretch.

Intensity sits between a beginner basics class and a full Vinyasa practice, making it a comfortable choice for newcomers and a satisfying option for experienced practitioners who prefer a moderate pace. The stretch portion weaves together principles of Yin and Restorative yoga, inviting longer, passive holds that ease tension in the deeper connective tissues while encouraging calm, steady breathing and full-body relaxation. There are no prerequisites, the class is open to all levels, and the challenge is moderate at about a 3 on a 1 to 5 scale. Please bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable clothing.
