Welcome to the Self-Defense For Women Program. This is an overview of everything you can expect to learn in this program.
Explore three choices in danger: leave as the first option; fight for your life when you cannot leave; and submit as a last resort to stay safe.
Learn how nonverbal cues shape how others perceive you, and how to project confidence with purposeful walking, shoulder alignment, and eye contact to deter threats.
Stay aware in car parks, identify suspicious behavior, and if you feel uncomfortable, go back inside or ask someone to walk with you to your vehicle to stay safe.
Lock your doors and roll up the windows, carry your keys, avoid distractions when approaching or entering your car, and keep valuables out of sight to deter attackers.
At traffic lights, scan your surroundings from all directions and keep space in front to maneuver. Avoid phone distractions to maintain situational awareness and prevent hijackings.
Use gates and garage doors, drive straight through, and avoid stopping near gates to stop hijackers from tracking you; parallel park to stay ready to escape and keep entrances lit.
Assess your surroundings, stay aware of exits and potential attackers, and call for help. Relax, breathe, avoid eye contact, and keep muscles loose to move quickly and fight to escape.
Identify vulnerable areas on an attacker, including the side of the head, nose, Adam's apple, neck, and groin, and emphasize downward strikes to stop an assault safely.
Learn how your body acts as 11 built-in weapons for self-defense, from fingerprints and nails to elbows, teeth, and knees, with practical, mindful strategies for women.
Learn a break and release wrist-grab technique and escape by targeting thumb and finger weak spots, pulling away, and using your free hand to aid the escape.
Master practical elbow strike techniques for women’s self-defense, using controlled elbow strikes to target the sternum, chin, throat, groin, and ribs from front, side, or rear.
Master the hip thrust escape: lift your feet up, bring them close to your body, then thrust up and to the right to break free from a choke.
Become confident in your ability to protect yourself & your family with simple self-defense training that will work for any woman.
No fitness, strength or martial arts training required.
