Real-World Safety Sessions:
Free Online Self-Defense Training
for Women

 Because knowing what to do — and trusting yourself to do it — can change everything.

✨  Real-World Safety Training— From the Comfort of Home

Have you ever wished you felt more prepared — walking to your car at night, meeting someone new, or traveling alone? Or had that uneasy feeling that something wasn’t right, but didn’t know how to respond?

That’s exactly why we offer our Real-World Safety Sessions — free, monthly online sessions that help you feel safer, more aware, and more in control in your everyday life.

🚗 Next Session: Parking Lots, Elevators, & Stairwells

 Thursday, December 18th 

7:30–8:30 PM EST

Learn simple, real-world strategies for feeling more aware, confident, and in control in elevators, parking lots, and stairwells — some of the most common environments where women tend to feel uneasy.

✅  What You'll Learn

Answers for Real-World Situations: We talk through situations women actually face — what to do when something feels “off,” how to handle social pressure, or how to exit a situation with confidence.

 

And if you’ve ever had a “What do I do in this situation?” question — ask it. We’ll walk through it together.

Universal Self-Defense Principles: Simple, adaptable strategies that work across a wide range of real-life scenarios. No fancy maneuvers, no complicated steps, just practical skills you can actually use.

Female & Male Expert Guidance: Join Tina & Joe, certified self-defense instructors with decades of experience, as they demonstrate and discuss practical self-protection from both perspectives — offering a real-world look at safety and empowerment.

Monthly Safety Topics: Each session focuses on a new real-world theme — from parking-lots to travel safety, college prep safety, home defense, and more. 

 

Discounts to In-Person Classes - Exclusive savings for women who want to take the next step and train with us locally in the NY Metro area.

 

Free Safety & Empowerment Resources - Mindset tools, micro-practices, empowerment challenges, and other resources you can use immediately — sent straight to your inbox after each session.

🧠 Why It Matters

Safety isn’t just about reacting — it’s about how you carry yourself before anything ever happens.

When you understand what to look for, how to respond, and when to trust your instincts,

you start to move through the world differently.

You stand taller.

You feel more grounded.

And that calm presence becomes its own kind of protection.

These sessions are about more than “what ifs.”

They’re about owning more of your power — so you can live your life with more freedom, confidence, and ease.

Genuine empowerment comes from knowing: "I can handle myself if I need to."

💞 Shared Empowerment

We all have women we care about — and helping them feel safer is one of the most meaningful things we can do.

Invite a friend, sister, or daughter to join you online — you can tune in together from anywhere.

You’ll each gain valuable insights, and you’ll both feel more empowered by learning side by side.
