Empowered
Self-Defense
Bootcamp

Real-world skills you can rely on — without years of training.

Most women have never had the chance to build real self-defense skills — but don’t want to spend years doing it.

And just one class isn’t enough to create skills that last.

That's where this bootcamp comes in.

Our 5-week bootcamp is where you build skills that your body remembers.

So when something feels off,
you don’t freeze or second-guess yourself —
you know what to do.

April 7 – May 9, 2026

White Plains · Nyack · Sloatsburg

Tuesdays • Thursdays • Saturdays

Walk Through Your World With Confidence

One class might show you what’s possible.

But confidence comes from repetition — from actually using your body, feeling what works, and giving yourself the time to build muscle memory.

Most women have never been given the chance to learn that way.

 

With a little practice, you'll feel so much stronger, more confident, and more in control.

And you start to feel it in everything
how you walk, speak, and carry yourself every day.

Next Round Starts April 7

This Goes Deeper Than A
Typical Workout

Yes — you’ll move.
Yes — you’ll be more fit.

But more importantly:

You’re building how you respond.
You’re sharpening your reflexes.
You’re learning what to do instead of freezing.

You’re taking instincts you already have —
and learning to trust them on another level.

These are real-world skills.

And in the moments that matter…
they can change everything.

Train Consistently — Without Rearranging Your Life

You get unlimited access to all three locations for the full five weeks.

So if you miss a day, you’re not behind.

Train in Nyack, White Plains, or Sloatsburg —
whatever works that week.

Consistency is where the shift happens.
We make that part easy.

Training for the Situations Women Actually Face

Real-world situations don’t follow scripts.

You’ll train for actual situations women encounter every day, like:

• parking lots

• elevators

• stairwells

• entering and exiting your car

• social interactions

• close-quarters confrontations

This isn’t about becoming aggressive.

It’s about knowing:

“I can handle myself if I need to.”

What To Expect

• Classes led by a female instructor alongside male self-defense experts
• Supportive, welcoming environment
• Beginner-friendly
• For all fitness levels and ages (12+)

Many women don’t do something like this alone.

They come because someone they trust nudged them.

A daughter becoming more independent.
A friend wanting to feel stronger.

And once they start —
they’re always glad they did.

You can come with someone…
or be that person for someone else.

"As a mom, that peace of mind is everything"

“I signed up for the bootcamp with my daughter Abby, who just turned 15.

I never wanted either of us to freeze if something ever happened. I just wanted her to be more prepared as she's getting more independent.

During the five weeks, I watched her become more aware, confident, and less anxious. A few months later, she was at the mall with friends and noticed a man following them. Her friends didn’t notice — but she did.


She calmly led them toward security, and asked for help. No panic, no hesitation, she just responded. I slept better that night, and ever since. 


As a mom, that peace of mind is everything.”

— Ann B., 45, Stamford CT

🌿 Meet Your Instructor Tina

Registered Nurse • Certified Self-Defense Instructor • 5th Degree Blackbelt • Co-Founder, LifeForce Self Defense

 

After experiencing stalking herself, Tina trained with world-renowned self-defense expert John perkins for over 15 years. Today, her mission is to teach the real-world skills most of us were never taught - to as many women as possible.

 

She and her team of self-defense experts - all veteran instructors with 25+ experience under John Perkins - create classes that are dynamic, eye-opening, and surprisingly fun. They are dedicated to helping others become more empowered, supported, and transformed.

By Week Five, You’ll Notice the Shift…

You don’t just know what to do —
your body does it for you.

You don’t just hope you’ll react —
you trust your instincts and naturally respond.

You don’t just picture confidence —
you feel more at home in your own skin

That’s the freedom this bootcamp gives you:
The power to own your space.
The readiness to respond with clarity.
The self-esteem to move through your life boldly, authentically, and on your own terms.

Because self-defense isn’t about fear.
It’s about presence.
It's about choices.
It’s about freedom.

It’s about finally living as the strongest version of yourself.

"I am former law enforcement and took this class as a refresher, and brought my mother. I would highly recommend this class for everyone...The amount that they were able to instruct and demonstrate in only 90 minutes was incredible. I am hoping to sign up with them for another class."

Fishkill, NY

"Tina, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for last night’s mother-daughter self-defense session. It exceeded my expectations. Education, real life examples, and hands-on drills with you and your team. Thanks to you, my college-bound daughter and her high school friends (and their moms!) gained a new realization of how to be proactive and aware...I already slept easier last night, knowing my daughter and her friends are armed with knowledge and skills to keep them safer on a daily basis. For that I am so grateful. Thanks again!"

Suffern, NY

"Tina and her fellow instructors are amazing! My 12 year old daughter and I signed up for a women's self defense class and didn't really know what to expect. We were given plenty of demonstrations and hands on training. Everyone was really engaging, informative, and kept positive encouragement flowing throughout the class. We had fun and learned a lot of potentially lifesaving advice and techniques."
