Early enrollment pricing ends March 20.
Real-World Confidence
Real-world situations are unpredictable.
We train you to handle life’s unpredictability with more strength, clarity, and calm.
This program goes far beyond learning a few techniques.
It’s designed to help you move through the world differently — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
You won’t be learning memorized choreography or complicated moves.
Instead, you’ll develop awareness, instinct, and natural responses that work under real pressure.
Through immersive training, realistic scenarios, and guided practice, you’ll build skills and confidence that carry into every part of your life - from walking to your car to navigating uncomfortable situations with clarity.
What You'll Experience
Over five weeks, we build this step by step.
1️⃣ Stepping Into Your Power
Grounded presence, awareness, and boundaries — the foundation for everything that follows.
Feel your body settle into strength and clarity from day one
2️⃣ Confidence in Motion
Posture, balance, and natural movement that change how people perceive you — and how you perceive yourself.
3️⃣ Instincts & Action
Simple, instinctive responses that work under pressure.
No choreography. No memorized sequences.
Just natural movement your body can access when it matters.
4️⃣ Unshakable Within
Strengthen your voice, your boundaries, and your decision-making.
This is where internal confidence clicks into place.
5️⃣ Empowerment for Life
Bringing everything together. Empowerment that becomes part of who you are — in every area of your life.
Train With Someone You Love
For many women, this isn’t just about them.
It’s about a daughter becoming more independent.
Or a loved one you know could benefit from feeling stronger and more confident in the world.
When you train together, the experience deepens.
You’re not just building strength — you’re inspiring it.
And the confidence you feel doesn’t stop with you.
It ripples outward.
"As a mom, thats' everything..
“I signed up for the bootcamp with my daughter Abby, who just turned 15.
We signed up because I never wanted either of us to freeze if something ever happened. We weren't sure what to expect, neither of us are athletic.
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.
As a mom, that’s everything.”
— Ann B., 45, Stamford CT
Training for the Situations Women Actually Face
Real-world situations don’t follow scripts. We train for that reality.
Learn how to navigate real situations women encounter every day, including:
• parking lots
• elevators
• stairwells
• entering and exiting your car
• social interactions and boundary setting
• close-range confrontations
This training isn’t about becoming aggressive.
It’s about the confidence that comes from knowing, “I can handle myself if I need to.”
Program Details
Your registration includes unlimited access to all three locations for the full five weeks, so you can train once per week or attend additional sessions for extra practice.

🌿 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.
Walk Through Your World With Confidence
There’s a shift that happens when you train like this.
You walk differently.
You carry yourself differently.
You trust yourself more.
And that confidence doesn’t stay in the classroom — it shows up in how you move through the world every day.
If that’s the version of yourself you’re ready to step into, we would love to see you there.

"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."
Samara H
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!"
Jane S
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."
Kasey S
Sloatsburg, NY
"I'm in my sixties and thought I could never participate in a self-defense class. But Tina and the guys made everything so accessible, I learned so much, and now I'm going home to teach my granddaughter!"
Chris B
Philadelphia, PA
"This is a must for every single woman. I've told all my friends at work they have to take this course. Total game changer."
Amanda D

“I came for self-defense skills, but I left with a totally different outlook. Every woman needs to do this!”
Lydia G

"OK, so everything I thought I knew about self defense was wrong. My class with Tina was illuminating and so much fun!"

This class was AMAZING! The life skills she has taught my daughter and I are invaluable and easy to incorporate into many day to day scenarios. I feel so much better that Abby knows how to be safe when she goes out now. Highly recommend!!!
Ann B

"I went to my first LifeForce Self Defense class last night. What an amazing experience! Tina and her staff are welcoming and come with a wide range of practical knowledge. I felt comfortable from the start and I am super eager to learn more!"
Bethany R

"I was nervous to walk in—I thought I’d feel out of place. But everyone was so welcoming, and within minutes I felt completely comfortable. Honestly, it was way more fun and empowering than I ever expected."
Trish A
Ossining, NY
"I was definitely intimidated, but I've thought about taking a class for years. I brought my daughter so she knows what to do when she goes off to school. It was so great, 'm totally blown away and we learned so much - I wish I had known this stuff when I was her age!"
