Child Safety & Anti-Abduction
Empower your children!
The RHINO Defense Child Safety program was developed by best selling author and child safety expert, Glenn Stevens. This program is rooted in fun and interactive lessons that build safety skills and critical thinking in the children. This is the best 2 hour Child Safety program you will ever enroll your children in! You will not believe what your children are capable of until you observe them in this course!!!
What will they learn?
This course is for children age 5-12 and will provide your child with vital safety skills while building their belief in themselves. The kids will finish the course equipped with practical skills and confidence which empowers them to identify potential risks while remaining calm and taking decisive action. They will practice using their voices effectively and establishing appropriate distance from situations that are uncomfortable or unsafe. They will learn how to describe an attacker and how to deal with emergency situations including taking part in 911 practice drills. With this structured, age-appropriate session, kids participate in fun yet purposeful exercises where they will also learn physical techniques including awareness and anti-abduction techniques.
Teen Safe
Ensure they have the knowledge to stay safe as they spend more time away from you!
Most teens are often naive to real world violence and danger. They are now entering the age where there is a significant increase in the risk of victimization. And, as with most people, they have little or no personal safety or REAL self-defense training. Teens need training so they won't succumb to peer pressure and so they can understand the dangers of making decisions based on "group" acceptance rather than the actual best course of action. As parents, we always strive to ensure they are safe and the RHINO Teen Safe program is the next step to continuing this practice!
What will they learn?
The Teen Safe program builds confidence and self-esteem in your teen through a variety of lessons and progressional learning to overcome personal barriers. We will teach them situational awareness, setting and enforcing personal boundaries, how to say NO without making excuses, how to create and maintain space from uncomfortable or dangerous situations, and vocalization. We also cover the dangers of over reliance on a cell phone, the dangers of AI to teens, the dangers of social media and how to avoid being victimized, and how a cell phone is NOT a form of Self-Defense. Finally, we will teach physical self-defense skills for those rare occasions when doing all the right things was just not enough!
College Safety
Young adults in vulnerable situations.
College and university life presents its own unique challenges for those in their late teens and early adulthood. They are still subject to peer pressure but there is often now the added element of drug and alcohol use and a significant increase in interactions with people they don't know. This all adds up to a recipe for victimization...if they are not prepared. The RHINO College Safe program targets the situations and dangers that may be present in college and university settings and provides solid safety habits and self-defense techniques to give students the largest advantage possible.
What will they learn?
College age individuals often face an increased risk of victimization and RHINO is here to provide the tools needed to reduce this risk. Participants in the College Safe program will learn situational awareness, conflict avoidance, conflict resolution, de-escalation tactics, and how to avoid dangerous situations. They will also learn vocalization, creating time and distance, physical self-defense skills, and how to use everyday weapons. Finally, we will teach them about the dangers of a reliance on technology and the realities of human trafficking. This is a comprehensive course that can be presented in varying class lengths depending on group size and environment.
Adult Self-Defense
Training Saves Lives.
RHINO Defense provides safety and self-defense skills that are functional and practical for anyone to use. Without training you will always be at a disadvantage if you are chosen as a victim. Your attacker will always start with the upper hand. We train our students to recognize and avoid danger, and failing that they are prepared to deal with the situation and get home safe!
What will you learn?
RHINO Defense Adult Self-Defense is about breaking old habits and learning what is going to work in the heat of the moment. We cover a variety of discussion topics including situational awareness, de-escalation, threat recognition, preparing for a conflict, victim vs warrior mindset, and criminal intent. We then shift our focus to physical skills that are designed to work in real life situations. We prioritize gross motor skills that you will be able to rely on when your stress levels are skyrocketing. Finally, we provide you with actual hands on training with a padded instructor to give you ample opportunity to try the skills and develop a good self-defense foundation!

Fundamental Active Shooter Training™ (FAST)
What is Fundamental Active Shooter Training™
An active shooter incident is any situation where an assailant shoots multiple people. These events usually take place very quickly, in one location, and result in numerous casualties. These attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent (averaging approximately one event every three weeks worldwide) and most individuals and companies have no plan for dealing with them. The RHINO Fundamental Active Shooter Training™ (FAST) prepares participants for the realities of an Active Shooter and provides a functional plan that anyone can implement to reduce casualties and increase their chances of survival.
Do you have a plan?
Although we always think of schools when we think of active shooters, almost 75% of all active shooter events are non-school related. This training is Fundamental for schools AND corporations, houses of worship, hospitals, shopping centres, airports, or any other location where people gather.
Having a plan in any emergency situation can make all the difference when it comes to saving lives. An active shooter event is no different that a fire, a flood, or a tornado. Having a plan decreases reaction and response times and provides individuals with a determined course of action. Training Saves Lives™ and the best place to receive it is through RHINO Fundamental Active Shooter Training™.
