Golden Warrior Self-Defense was built on a simple belief:
Self-defense training should be practical, accessible, and rooted in the realities people face every day.

With over 13 years of experience in Krav Maga and real-world self-defense, owner Kevin Lance has trained with some of the most respected instructors in the field, including:

• Darren Levine, Chief Instructor, Krav Maga Worldwide

• Dave Kahn, U.S. Chief Instructor, Israeli Krav Maga

• Greg Dziewonski, National Director, Krav Maga Federation of America

• Luke Holloway, CEO, Raw Combat International

The knowledge gained from these instructors, along with years of continued training, has shaped a clear understanding of what works, and what does not, in real-world situations.

​OUR APPROACH​

At Golden Warrior Self-Defense, training goes beyond techniques.

We focus on:

• Awareness and recognizing danger early

• Setting and enforcing boundaries

• Simple, effective responses that work under stress

• Real-world scenarios, not unrealistic drills

Our goal is not to turn people into fighters.
It is to help them feel more confident, more aware, and more prepared.

We also recognize that every person brings a different background and experience into training. Our approach is informed by trauma awareness and grounded in victim advocacy principles, including training through the National Organization for Victim Assistance. This helps us create an environment that is supportive, respectful, and adaptable to each individual.
