Boost Team Morale & Workplace Safety with Streetwise Corporate Seminars
Bring your team together for an engaging, high-value self defense workshop that doubles as team building. Our scenario-based seminars are designed for complete beginners—no martial arts experience required—and remain informative even for those with some background. Led by Coach Mike Gizzo, these sessions teach practical skills: situational awareness to prevent issues, de-escalation techniques, emotional regulation under pressure, and effective responses in real-world scenarios (striking basics, close quarters defense, ground survival, armed/multi-opponent situations). It’s fun, interactive, and directly relevant to NYC life—subway commutes, late nights, or travel.
