Strider Self Defense

Big thanks to the VIP fans of Freddie Gibbs! You were a joy to teach and I hope you enjoyed the last show on the Last Rabbit Tour. Big thanks to Freddie Gibbs and his team for making this happen. I wish you all the best in your martial arts journey.

Also have to thank the staff at House of Blues Anaheim House of Blues Anaheim for making the experience fun, chill, and professional.

And most importantly, thank you to my wife Veronica Strider for always supporting me and beating me up to demonstrate techniques to the students. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Huge shoutout to Freddie Gibbs and his The Last Rabbit Tour VIP Experience!

Teaching the fans of good music a self defense lesson was one of the funnest classes I’ve ever done. It was an honor being part of this. And those Last Rabbit Dojo Gi’s are so sick! Coolest merch ever.

Another huge shoutout to SOMA San Diego for hosting the show. Great venue. Great vibes. Great staff.

Last shoutout goes to the fans and students. You were all wonderful. Hit me up if you’re interested in lessons or have any questions about self defense or martial arts. Hope you had a good time.

Thank you so much for my gifts, natalia! They help me start the day off right. Teaching you and your daughter was such a joy! Never forget the strength and potential you both embody. Safe travels and may our paths cross again soon!

Why seek empowerment from someone who rejects your agency? There is a big problem of bigotry in the self defense community. Instructors and their students spew vile hate against marginalized communities casually. Don’t let their ignorance deter you from learning how to protect yourself. This space is for you. There are amazing instructors out there who share your values.

Self defense strengthens the way that you walk, the way that you see, the way that you feel. You will use these skills everyday. Live your life to the fullest with the comfort of knowing that you have options when s**t hits the fan.

This message is for the disenfranchised who need self defense. I will not be arguing with those that this offends. There ARE instructors out there who aren’t part of the problem. I’m one of them. Don’t give your time, money, and peace of mind to those who harm you.

Do you know when someone might grab you? What about what to do when they grab you? After? Come learn how to protect yourself in a safe space without being worried your teacher engages in right-wing politics!
