Your trusted source for high-stress self-defense, conflict management, and professional security training.
Your trusted source for high-stress self-defense, conflict management, and professional security training. We teach you how to survive, adapt, and protect yourself and your loved ones through modern combative methodology and practical tools.
Our training blends instinctive movement, situational awareness, and gross motor mechanics to prepare you for chaos, not choreography. No fancy techniques—just what works under pressure.
All programs are available in Bangkok, on-site, or through custom seminars internationally.
Personal Defense Coaching is a specialized self-defense and personal safety training organization built on the foundation of real-world experience and modern combative methodology. We believe that no two individuals are alike—and that effective self-protection must be tailored to each person's strengths, challenges, and life situation.
Our core philosophy revolves around adaptive teaching, personal coaching, and performance under pressure. Whether you're a complete beginner or a professional working in high-risk environments, we design training to suit your needs. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we emphasize guided discovery, student reflection, and the development of personal tools that work under chaos and stress.
Much of our training is done in private sessions or small groups, allowing us to give personal attention, focus on individual progress, and ensure safety and comfort throughout the learning process. We are deeply committed to ethical teaching, trauma-informed approaches, and helping our clients build both confidence and capability.
Our mission is simple: To help people stay safe, resilient, and ready—without turning them into someone they’re not. We empower you to be more of who you already are, with stronger tools.
