What Makes Lila Different?
With over 30 years of martial arts training and teaching, Lila Reyna is a transformative figure in self-defense and personal empowerment. As a fifth-degree black belt and the founder of Action Awareness Training, she is dedicated to equipping women with the tools to protect themselves and live lives filled with self-worth and purpose.
Lila's journey in martial arts began as a personal commitment to reclaim her power as an abuse survivor, learning to protect herself and her children. Instead of allowing her past to define her, she transformed her experiences into a catalyst to help others.
Today, Lila's approach encompasses more than just physical self-defense techniques; she integrates awareness of the mind, body, and spirit. By nurturing all aspects of one's being, participants learn to navigate life with clarity, balance, and strength.

“As a mom, I wanted my daughter to feel safe and confident, but not scared. Lila taught her how to trust her intuition, spot danger, and to not become a target. My daughter left class standing taller, and I left knowing she has better skills to protect herself throughout her life.”

“I’ve taken other self-defense workshops before, but none were as approachable and empowering as Lila’s. Her blend of martial arts expertise and real-life strategies made me feel both supported and strong. I walked away with tools I can use every day.”
