Train with Confidence
About Us
We are a collective of highly experienced martial arts instructors representing a wide range of disciplines, each bringing over 20 years of training and teaching experience. Our team also includes current and retired law enforcement professionals, providing a unique combination of technical expertise and real-world safety insight.
Our mission is to deliver professional, inclusive programs designed to empower the Pride community through self-defense, safety awareness, and confidence-building. These programs go beyond traditional training—they create a supportive environment where individuals can feel stronger, safer, and more confident in their everyday lives.
At the same time, we partner with organizations and sponsors who share our commitment to community impact. Through these partnerships, we expand access to high-quality training, increase visibility for important causes, and create meaningful opportunities to support empowerment, wellness, and safety.
Whether you’re looking to build confidence and learn practical skills, or you’re seeking to support a mission-driven initiative with real community impact, this is a place to get involved.
Trainings Offered
We are the Garuda Tribe—students bound not by uniform, but by purpose.
The Garuda, known as the divine vehicle of the gods and a symbol of protection in Southeast Asian mythology, is also embraced in queer gaming culture as a symbol of power and identity, and reflects our mission: to rise, defend, and move with intention. Through self-defense and martial arts training, we transform fear into strength and community into power.
