The Protect-Her™ 1/2 Day, 1 Day, and 2 Day courses will focus on the student's development and elemental principles of awareness, survival, and a winning mindset to prevail over the life-threatening realities of a violent attack.

The program's focus on Situational Awareness and Avoidance, along with the development of a Preemptive Offensive Mindset, provides the students with an effective survival tool kit. By learning the methods, motives, and mindset of the attacker, the student will be given an insight typically not provided in the common "kick - punch" women's self defense class.
