Why Choose Randy King?

I’ve spent over 20 years teaching real-world personal protection, conflict communication, and proactive self-defense in 14 countries and more than 80 cities. My work has been trusted by corporations, associations, martial arts schools, and first responder agencies looking for training that goes far beyond theory.

Unlike programs built on fear tactics or outdated techniques, my approach is grounded in research, field experience, and the realities of how violence and conflict actually unfold. From frontline professionals to everyday people, I’ve helped thousands develop practical strategies they can use immediately.

My models and methods have been adapted by instructors and organizations around the world, becoming the foundation for training programs in multiple countries.

Every session is designed to engage, educate, and inspire. Whether you’re planning a conference keynote, a corporate safety workshop, or an intensive martial arts seminar, I deliver content that challenges assumptions and leaves your audience thinking differently about personal protection.

Conflict Communication for Leaders

Practical frameworks for de-escalating tension, setting clear boundaries, and maintaining authority without unnecessary escalation.

Surviving Real-World Violence

Beyond techniques: how mindset, environment, and situational awareness save lives in unpredictable encounters.

Understanding the Predatory Mindset

How predatory behavior works,  and how to recognize, avoid, and disrupt it before it becomes a personal threat.


The Hidden Signals of Violence

Learn how to read the signs that violence is about to happen. This training covers proven indicators of pre-attack behavior, patterns in aggression, and the body language tells most people miss.
