Lioness Tactics

Awaken Your Survival Instincts

Never the Aggressor. Always Vigilant. Always Ready.

Founded in 2014, Lioness Tactics is a female-owned company that has trained Law Enforcement, Veterans, Military, Security, and Corporate professionals worldwide in behavior-based and prevention.

  • To raise the standard of personal readiness through behavior-driven training that is practical, clear, and grounded in real-world experience.

  • The lioness is the perfect model for human survival. She studies patterns. Tracks intent. Moves with purpose. Conserves energy until action is required. She protects what is hers by understanding what she is walking into.

    Lioness Tactics is built on biological intelligence, the same survival principles that keep predators alive in nature and people alive in the real world. Threats do not begin with violence. They begin with behavior.

  • We don’t build off skills. We build off survival instincts.

    Every threat starts with behavior. Long before there is a weapon, a word, or a move, there is intent. That is where we begin. We teach biological intelligence to recognize the subtle cues, and to trust the instinct that warns you something is off.

    You’ll learn to read people, manage stress, make decisions under pressure, using techniquies built around instictive reactions making them easier to remember and perform under stress.

A Lioness doesn’t walk confidently. She walks prepared

Renee Stringer has more than 20 years of experience teaching self-defense and over a decade in executive and dignitary protection, covert operations, and corporate security. Her training background includes defensive tactics, firearms instruction, de-escalation, and behavior-based threat recognition.

She has trained civilians, law enforcement, military personnel, and security teams, and has led and supported security operations in both domestic and high-risk environments. Her approach is grounded in biological intelligence, how the human body reads danger, processes stress, and makes decisions under pressure.

This is the foundation behind Lioness Tactics.

A public restroom is a choke point. A choke point is any space that limits movement and funnels people through a narrow area, reducing options for entry and exit. Bathrooms are designed this way by default. Most have a single entrance and exit, wh

Two common firearm questions I often hear when I’m teaching. Can I just shoot a warning shot? Or the attacker in the leg? No. A warning shot is still the use of deadly force. The shooter is legally responsible for wherever that round ends up
Entrances are information points, not just access points. An access point is any place where entry or exit is allowed, restricted, or controlled. A hello. A door unlocking. A badge swipe. A ticket scan. A brief check before you’re through. An

Instagram didn’t challenge my credibility. LinkedIn did. Over my last post. I shared the same image and message on both platforms, and the reactions could not have been more different. On Instagram, the response was easy. Compliments. Suppo
The room reads you before you speak. Not your title or credentials. Not the role you think you’re supposed to play. It reads how settled you are. How you move. How comfortable you are taking up space without explanation. That kind of confide
Wow, this was genuinely cool. Thank you to International Security Journal (ISJ) for the feature. I love my job, and it meant a lot to be asked to share how I see Corporate Security evolving in 2026. Getting the chance to step back, think forward, an
“Why carry a 9mm when a .45 makes a bigger impact… right?” That line gets repeated everywhere. Gun counters. Group chats. Range conversations. The idea sounds simple: bigger caliber, bigger damage, faster stop. But handgun ballis

Space + Opportunity = Control Violent encounters happen fast, usually within seconds and often closer than you ever imagined. When someone closes that distance, you lose more than space. You lose time, control, and options. That’s why creat

“911, what’s your emergency?” It is a phrase we have all heard on TV or in real life. But here is what most people do not realize. When you call, dispatch does not automatically know where you are. Unless you are on a landline
What an honor it was to pin my husband’s badge today as he was sworn in as Sergeant. This moment was about more than a new badge. It was the years of hard work, the late nights, the long hours, and the calls that stay with you long after the s
