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.
Train with Pride. Soar with Spirit.
Our live trainings and workshops bring practical self-defense, awareness, and confidence-building tools to individuals, university & college campuses, organizations, and community spaces.
Rooted in the spirit of Garuda Tribe and powered by Alliance Awareness, these programs are designed to help people feel safer, stronger, and more connected.
From Pride Month workshops to custom group trainings, we create supportive learning spaces where no experience is required — just a willingness to learn, grow, and move with confidence.
