Unbreakable: Self Defense Workshops

There are moments in every entrepreneur’s life where instinct, clarity, and calm decision-making matter more than anything else. UNBREAKABLE is designed for exactly those moments — giving you practical tools to read situations accurately, defuse tension, and stay grounded under pressure.

This EO Boston experience is built in two parts, so every member can participate fully, with the option to go deeper if you choose.

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Main Workshops (Non-Physical)

Non-physical. High-impact. Built for everyday safety.

The morning brings the full group together for two immersive, non-physical workshops led by personal safety expert Gershon Ben Keren:

Premeditated Violence (Non-Physical)You’ll learn how targeted violence typically unfolds long before anything becomes physical. Gershon breaks down the predictable patterns behind harmful intent and shows how to recognize early indicators so you can make fast, grounded decisions that help you avoid danger whenever possible.

Spontaneous Violence & De-Escalation (Non-Physical)Next, you’ll explore the psychology behind everyday conflicts — the moments that catch people off guard in workplaces, public spaces, or daily life. You’ll leave with practical tools to lower emotional intensity, redirect tension, and prevent escalation using proven communication strategies.

These morning sessions are designed to be accessible, thoughtful, and deeply relevant for entrepreneurs, partners, families — anyone who wants to move through the world with more confidence and clarity.

12:30–2:00 PM: Optional Small-Group Physical Workshop

Separate registration required; limited capacity.

For members who want to experience self-defense concepts in action, Gershon will lead an optional hands-on introductory Krav Maga session. This training is designed for beginners and focuses on simple, instinctive movements paired with real-world context: environmental factors, stress responses, and the realities of physical confrontation.

You’ll practice adaptable techniques in a supportive small-group setting, gaining a deeper understanding of how your body and awareness work in high-pressure moments. Participation is capped to ensure a safe, personalized experience.

This session includes physical movement and interactive drills. If you have injuries or physical restrictions that could limit participation, please check in with us ahead of time. We want to ensure everyone can take part safely and comfortably.

Why This Day Matters

This experience isn’t about fear. It’s about capability. It’s about learning how to recognize what’s really happening around you, navigate tense moments with clarity, and feel fully prepared to protect yourself and those you love.

You’ll walk away with:

• A sharper sense of what risk actually looks like

• Language and tools to de-escalate everyday conflict

• Optional hands-on experience that brings the concepts to life
