Individuals

Good self-defense programs do not “tell” an individual what she “should” or “should not” do. A program should offer options, techniques, and a way of analyzing situations.

We can tailor our individual instructions to your physical build and mental attitude so that you are prepared if and when you find yourself confronted in a difficult situation.

Q: So What is Women’s Self Defense?

Self-defense is a set of awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist, and survive violent attacks. A good self-defense course provides psychological awareness and verbal skills, not just physical training.
