NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
Martial Arts World Heavyweight Champion Tyler Weaver, Sr and online safety advocate Lynne Barletta headline Day of Defense—bringing expert training in both physical and digital self-defense. Their combined experience empowers kids and families to recognize threats, build confidence, and stay safe in today’s world.
Tyler believes that true strength begins with mindset, confidence, and awareness—not aggression. “A predator looks for weakness. But when a child is filled with confidence, it shows. Predators avoid that,” says Weaver. “Self-defense is more than striking—it’s about teaching kids awareness, mindset, and faith. The sooner they learn, the stronger they become.”
Lynne brings decades of experience empowering families to navigate today’s online threats—from social media dangers to hidden digital traps used by predators. With a strong foundation in faith, creativity, and prevention, her training helps children, parents, and leaders recognize risk, respond wisely, and reclaim safety online.
Her message is clear: “Online defense starts with awareness and confidence. Every child deserves to feel safe in today’s digital world—and every adult can help protect that right.”
