Our last seminar sold out! Sign up for our next Women’s Self Protection seminar on Saturday, April 28, from 1:00 to 4:00pm.

1 out of every 4 women will be sexually assaulted in the United States. Learn how to fight back! Statistics show that women who actively and aggressively fight back vastly increase their chances of avoiding rape. Learn techniques you can use to improve your chances of fighting off an attacker.

This seminar will include:

Verbal skills to de-escalate difficult situations
Awareness skills to avoid danger when possible
Hands on physical self protection
Padded assailants so you can make real contact
Realistic abduction scenarios

The seminar will be taught by female and male instructors. We teach Krav Maga, the official system of the Israel military and one of the most popular and effective self defense systems in the world.
