Personal Safety & Self Protection
Awareness is your
first line of defense
Personal Safety & Self Protection is a practical personal-safety and situational-awareness training program designed to help everyday people become more aware, confident, and prepared. Developed by Christian Maine, owner and Master Instructor of White Mountain Karate, Personal Safety & Self Protection combines decades of martial arts, self-protection, and teaching experience with a practical approach to modern personal safety. The goal isn’t to turn people into martial artists.
The goal is to help people recognize potential problems earlier, make better decisions, understand their options, and develop practical skills that may help them protect themselves and get home safely. Personal Safety & Self Protection programs can be customized for businesses, schools, organizations, community groups, families, and individuals.
Women’s Personal Safety & Self-Protection

Schools & Educational Organizations
Personal Safety & Self Protection programs can be adapted for schools and educational organizations with an emphasis on situational awareness, personal boundaries, confidence, decision-making, and age-appropriate personal safety.

Programs can be customized according to the age group and needs of the school or organization.
