By the end of the course, women have repeatedly used their skills to assess danger, set boundaries, and respond effectively to verbal and physical attacks. Women learn to knock-out an assailant of any size With the support of other students and the female instructor, each woman has opportunities to practice using her skills, judgements, and emotions in simulated attack scenarios. Because the mock assailant wears heavily padded armor and is highly trained, women can deliver full force strikes and kicks. Women from ages 14 to 70 have taken the course.
Graduates report successfully stopping attacks up to eight years after completing training.
Women learn to channel a fright response into a fight response. The course combines mind, body and spirit to teach women they do have choices. Women develop their fighting spirits through simulated attack scenerios. We invite you to come and observe women successfully defending themselves. Graduations take place one and a half hours after the fourth class begins.
