					It’s understandable to want people to feel physically confident and safe — but the *biggest* risk here is accidental drift into “security culture” (which can attract exactly the wrong dynamics).

					A safe way to approach this (that stays aligned with Peaceful Foundation values):

					* Make it **optional**, not a core pillar.
					* Frame it as **personal safety + confidence + boundaries**, not “fighting.”
					* Prioritise **avoidance, de-escalation, situational awareness**, and **leaving early**.
					* If you do anything physical, use **reputable, insured, certified instructors**, with a strict code of conduct and no “militia vibe.”
					* Explicitly exclude weapons training and anything that looks like preparing for conflict.

					In other words: it’s okay to support people feeling safe, but the movement should never look like it’s building force.

A key design principle from your docs already supports this: **practical, calm, non-ideological, action-focussed** systems — that helps safety a lot, because it reduces tribalism and ego fuel.
