Women-Centered Expert Led
Participants don’t need to memorize complicated techniques or perform like athletes. They learn practical principles and instinct-based physical skills built around natural movement and reflexes.
The training is serious, but the experience is warm, supportive, and fun Women are often surprised by how much they learn and how fun it can be.
The goal is for each participant to leave more prepared than when she walked in—with practical skills, a clearer understanding of her options, and more confidence in her ability to respond.
Workshop Options
Women's Self Defense
Women and teens ages 12+
A practical place to begin for women who have wanted to learn self-defense but weren’t sure where to start.
Participants learn how to use their bodies effectively, create space, move and respond more decisively, and keep going when a situation doesn’t unfold as expected.
The workshop combines clear self-defense principles with simple, instinct-based physical skills women can begin using right away.
This workshop can also be offered as a mother-daughter program.
College Prep
Self-Defense
Teens and young women ages 12–24
Practical physical self-defense with more emphasis on the situations teens and young women are likely to encounter as they become more independent.
Participants practice responding to social pressure, unwanted attention, dating situations, school or college life, work, travel, and public transportation. They learn to recognize when something feels off, use their voices, create space, and respond physically when needed.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEARN AND PRACTICE
Walking With Confidence
Each workshop combines the most important foundations of self-defense with hands-on physical training. The exact emphasis can be adjusted for the age, interests, and needs of the group.
Clarity and Confidence
Participants develop a clearer understanding of what self-defense really involves, how situations can develop, and the different choices available before and during a physical encounter.
Awareness and Prevention
Participants practice recognizing red flags, setting boundaries, creating distance, and responding before a situation becomes more difficult to manage.
Practical Physical Skills
Simple, effective instinct-based and reflex-driven skills anyone can learn, that don't require years of training or require memorizing complicated techniques.
Realistic, Adaptable Practice
Participants bring the skills into common situations, learning to adapt as circumstances change.

“Years ago, I met someone at a local park here in Rockland, and the situation became increasingly unsettling and unsafe. I wish I had understood my options better—and known that I didn’t have to keep being nice when something felt wrong.
It’s one reason I care so much about helping other women have the education and experience I didn’t have then.”
