Move Like a Lioness.
Think Like a Hunter.
Refuse to Be Prey.
Why Lioness Tactics Exists
Lioness Tactics started with behavior. A pattern I saw in every real-world environment. 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.
Humans are wired the same way. Our biology was designed to recognize danger, read behavior, and respond with purpose. We just stopped paying attention to that system. Modern life has trained us to ignore our instincts. Convenience replaced awareness. Distraction replaced pattern recognition.
Lioness Tactics exists to wake up the instincts people already have. You learn to read behavior, notice the cues, and take action before the threat ever has the chance to become one.
Meet the Founder
Renee Stringer brings more than twenty years of experience in behavioral intelligence, threat assessment, and self defense instruction, along with more than fifteen years in executive protection and security operations across domestic and international environments.
Her background includes high-risk dignitary protection, executive protection, corporate security, protective intelligence, workplace violence prevention, crisis and emergency management, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and security program development. Across those environments, her work has centered on understanding behavior, communication, patterns, changes in routine, and the conditions surrounding them. Risk rarely develops in isolation, and recognizing how those pieces begin to connect has remained a consistent part of her work.
Her foundation also comes from practical defensive training. Renee is a reserve police academy graduate, a Krav Maga black belt and instructor, and a certified instructor in firearms, de-escalation, and Axon TASER. She has trained civilians, law enforcement officers, military personnel, and security professionals in defensive tactics, situational awareness, decision-making under pressure, and how the body responds during conflict.
Her work in executive protection and security operations expanded that foundation into real-world protective environments. She has worked directly with clients and senior leadership, led protective operations, helped stabilize at-risk programs, built programs from the ground up, coordinated personnel and resources, and supported operational delivery across complex assignments.
Through Lioness Tactics, Renee brings those disciplines together through education and training focused on behavioral awareness, situational awareness, personal safety, and decision-making under pressure. The objective is not only to prepare people for what happens during an incident, but to help them recognize what may be developing before it reaches that point.
Our Core Values
-
The reality of violence isn’t pretty, predictable, or fair. We don’t pretend it is. Training starts with telling the truth about how people behave under stress, and what it actually takes to survive it.
-
Skills fade when discipline slips. Showing up, paying attention, and staying teachable matter more than any technique. Your training should look like your worst day, not your best one, because that’s the day that demands everything.
-
Do the right thing even when no one is watching. How you carry yourself before, during, and after a situation defines your character more than any skillset.
-
You are your own first responder. Your safety starts with you. Responsibility is the commitment to train, the awareness to read a situation early, and the clarity to navigate the aftermath with confidence.
