Women's Self-Defense Fundamentals Fundraiser

Train body, mind, and stress response so you can act under pressure, spot danger early, and stay in control in real‑world situations. WE'RE RAISING MONEY FOR MAKE-A-WISH! Come join us! NOTE: This seminar is for adult women. However, teen Girls (16+) can attend if a parent or adult relative is participating See what other people thought about their experience. Visit our website! This is not just a course, it's an experience. Most self-defense classes focus on physical techniques. In addition to the physical techniques, our course will work on increasing your awareness so you can defend yourself before the physical techniques become necessary. Sometimes training fails because stress causes you to freeze — and no one ever trained you to push through it. One of our instructors spent years training service members to perform under pressure in combat. This course applies that same proven approach to the real-world situations women face. This seminar is designed to help you do exactly that. YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: - Recognize when something feels "off" and trust your instincts - Set clear verbal and physical boundaries with confidence - Recognize and overcome the freeze response — so you can act when it matters most - Understand how stress and adrenaline affect your reactions - Create space and disengage from a threatening situation - Use simple, practical movements that don't rely on strength or size This is not a fight-focused class. It's about awareness, control, and having options — so you can act with confidence instead of hesitation. No experience is required. No pressure. No intimidation. Just a supportive environment where you can learn, ask questions, and build skills that apply to everyday life. WHO THIS IS FOR - Adult women of all experience levels - Anyone looking to feel more confident and prepared - Those who want practical, real-world skills — not sport or traditional martial arts (NOTE: Teen Girls 16+ can attend if a parent or adult relative is participating) ABOUT OUR COACHES One coach is a military combat veteran who spent decades training Marines to perform under extreme stress and has over 35 years of martial arts training. Another coach brings vast martial arts experience along with 30 years of city and federal law enforcement experience — someone who has responded to the exact situations this course prepares you for. These experiences form the foundation of this course — because the biggest challenge in a real threat isn't knowing what to do. It's overcoming the freeze that stops you from doing it. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH - A ROOTED t-shirt - A certificate of completion - Increased confidence and situational awareness - An improved understanding of how to respond under pressure - Simple tools you can actually remember and use - Some new friends MORE TO EXPECT - Basic movements and striking (we have striking pads for you to hit as hard as you can!) - Basic easy-to-remember techniques to maintain distance, create space, and defend yourself (there will be opportunity for practical application on attackers wearing protective gear) - Movement. Some sweat. Slightly heavier breathing. Sense of accomplishment. (Note: Will be training on mats so we don't wear shoes into the gym or on the mats. Please plan accordingly. We will have a place for you to store your footwear.) WHAT TO BRING - Water bottle - Towel - Open mind - Positive attitude - Socks (optional: we will be training on mats so we will not be wearing shoes) Come join us!!
