Self Defense Course Seminars, Workshops & Lectures

Your best weapon in the event of an attack is your mind.
Robert Cabral

Empowering women and men is what Robert Cabral has done for more than 20 years. 

His practical approach to personal security has made him a respected authority on the subject. Cabral has taught hand to hand self defense to police officers, bodyguards and lay people for the past 20 years. He founded Be Your Own Bodyguard, the first online self defense program in 1998, and has recently restructured the entire course and made it available on DVD.

Today, Be Your Own Bodyguard, is the finest self defense / personal security course available anywhere.

Roberts seminars focus on practical ideas that anyone can use to be safer.  He focuses on simple ideas, question and answer segments as well as hands on instruction. 
Everyone leaves Roberts workshops feeling empowered.

For women and men:
Workshops are broken into two sections: one for women and one for men.  The approach to each is quite different and the techniques are geared to the specific gender.  Women and men are attacked quite differently and they respond very uniquely to the attacks.  Robert breaks down the psychology as well as the physical elements of the attacks and explains the how's and why's in a very clear and succinct manner.

Groups of 10 to 10,000:
Whether your group is a small church group, a club or a major organization, Roberts workshops will leave everyone feeling empowered, and everyone will walk away with the knowledge that could potentially save their lives.  Each seminar / workshop is geared to the specific group.  Robert will work with you to prepare an experience for your specific needs. 

For groups and clubs:
Be Your Own Bodyguard workshops are a fun and meaningful experience for everyone involved.  Imagine if you could have the opportunity learn information you need to protect yourself and your family and sharing it with everyone in your club or organization.

Corporate "Team Building Workshops:"
Why not give your employees a team building experience that will help them in and out of the workplace?  Corporations are often focusing on adding self defense classes to their agendas.  Turn your next meeting into a fun and empowering experience for your employees.  Robert will add your corporate presentation / message into the workshop.  He has more than 15 years experience in public speaking and focuses on empowering people and delivering a positive message into each presentation.

What's the difference between Be Your Own Bodyguard workshop and others?
Be Your Own Bodyguard focuses on the concept that it is better to avoid a confrontation rather than having to fight your way out of one.  There are so many things that  we commonly overlook in our daily lives that make us potential vicitms; situations around the home, in our travels, in our cars and in the way we carry ourselves.  Robert's workshops will open your eyes to the most common problems including potential attacks, home invasions, car jacking, identity theft and more.  Not to worry, Roberts workshops also feature plenty of powerful self defense techniques in the event you are attacked.
