From the mat to your phone

More than an app. A safety mindset.

Strike First Self Defense focuses on self-defense and personal safety training with real-life, practical applications. Using techniques and movements drawn from Krav Maga and other fighting disciplines, we built a complete system for self-protection.

Strike First Guardian puts that system in your pocket. The awareness lessons, scenarios and technique videos in the app come from the same instruction we teach in person — paired with tools like one-tap SOS, live location and a safety timer for the moments when awareness alone isn’t enough.

Our training can be customized for specific industries, groups and organizations. Our clients include companies in:

  • Real estate
  • Insurance
  • Law enforcement
  • Public sector
