DO Martial Arts Centre

HIKE SAFE - A Practical Mountain Self Defense Workshop!

Reclaim your peace of mind on the trails! With muggings on the rise, we want to help you feel safe, empowered, and confident enough to get back out there.

A major part of staying safe on the mountain is knowing how to react if you are targeted, using what you already have on you.

Do Martial Arts Centre brings you a practical self-defense workshop tailored specifically to the real-world conditions faced by trail runners, hikers, and cyclists.

What Makes This Course Different?

• Train in Your Gear: Come dressed in what you actually wear on the mountain, running outfit, cycling cleats, trail vests, or hydration packs.
• Use Your Everyday Objects: Learn how to turn what’s already on you into defense tools, whether it’s a water bottle, trekking pole, cell phone, and keys.
• Practical & Direct: Experienced Instructors will walk you through real-scenario threat awareness, spatial recognition, and quick-escape techniques to help you handle an unexpected encounter.
