Safety isn't something you hope for. It's something you train for.
Created by women, for women. Hosted by Offshore Kinetics.
The MIA | Women's Defensive Skills Workshop is three days of real-world training for any woman who wants to be able to protect herself and the people she loves. Some women come because they work in security. Some come because they want to break into the industry. And many come because they're done feeling unprepared: in a parking garage, on a late-night rideshare, traveling alone, or at home.
No experience needed. Whether you've never held a pistol or you work protective details for a living, you'll train to a professional standard, taught by professionals who meet you where you are.
You'll shoot by day, through twilight, and into full dark, because threats don't wait for good lighting. You'll learn to fight from a world champion. You'll learn to read a room before it turns, and to stop a bleed when seconds matter. You'll do it alongside women who get it, taught by women who've done it.
March 12–14, 2027 · Homestead, Florida (Miami-Dade)
Only 24 seats.
Train with the woman you'd call first.
In protective work, nobody works alone. Neither should you. Bring your sister, your best friend, your mom, your daughter, or your partner on the job, and you both save.
Why bring her: people who train with a friend show up more and stick with it longer. In one study, going to the gym with a friend raised visits by 35%. And when something happens, the person next to you is the first one who can help. After this weekend, she'll know what to do, and so will you.
What you'll train:
Day 1: Range Day + Twilight-to-Dark Shoot. Pistol fundamentals, safe handling, drawing from the holster, reloads, malfunctions, and defensive shooting, then a 2-hour block that runs from sunset into full dark with your own Offshore Kinetics handheld light
Day 2: Hand-to-Hand Fight Training. Strikes, escapes from grabs and chokes, ground defense, and fighting your way to safety, taught by the first-ever Bellator Women's World Champion
Day 3: Situational Awareness + Stop the Bleed. Spotting danger before it starts, everyday safety at home, in your car, and when you travel, tourniquets, wound packing, and a final scenario that puts it all together
Every team member takes home:
A personal Stop the Bleed kit
Certificate of completion, presented at The After-Action Dinner
