Personal safety & self-defense are about so much more than physical skills.  It's learning to set boundaries, communicate them to others, enforce them and defend them if necessary. These are life skills that we can carry with us to help us be prepared no matter where we go and are key to social-emotional learning. When we are willing to speak up for ourselves, we claim our power. And knowing you can defend yourself physically can help you walk through the world with confidence!

​

I have empowered thousands of students across the country, both in person & virtually!

​

Verbal skills and physical skills are tools in our toolbox to give us a choice in how we respond to a sketchy situation and gives us the freedom to decide what works best for us.

The skills I teach can be used by anyone regardless of your age,

athletic ability, gender, body type or previous experience!
