Our Mission

People who participate in self-defense classes learn how to be more assertive and better stand up for themselves, which in and of itself makes them less likely to be victimized. When people learn to recognize assault risk situations and how to stop coercive behavior before it escalates, they can better avoid a physical confrontation.

Our mission is to empower people with effective, relevant training in the dynamics of assault, assault risk mitigation, and physical self-defense. Our curriculum encompasses stranger attacks, acquaintance attacks, and physical self-defense techniques to escape or prevail.
