Luminous Warrior distinguishes itself from other self defense modalities in 3 ways:

1. Our self defense coaching focuses on practical tools that give you options, rather than giving you answers

We give you information and options that help you decide what to do in a specific scenario. You learn when to defend yourself, and what’s is worth fighting for. These are deeply personal decisions and choices, and we help you get to your own answers of how you would like to live and create your life.

2. We focus on empowering individuals and groups rather than fostering a me-versus-them mentality or a desire to control situations or other individuals

A desire to control or have power over situations and other people may in fact attract more trouble; while being empowered with options, choices, tools and techniques attracts sustainable tools of self empowerment and the possibility for a more peaceful life.

3. We use self defense tools to heal trauma from past events

Healing with self defense techniques must be done in a specific way and taught mindfully. Our knowledge in brainwave development, the function of the sub-brains, psychosomatic imprints, and the mind-body connection are at the core of these tools. In this way we can heal trauma and fears that can come up during self defense coaching or may have come up previously in life.
