The program focuses on Situational Awareness and Avoidance, along with the development of proven hand-to-hand combatives and self defense skills that provide the students with an effective street 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.

TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"Loved everything we learned. Super Empowering!."

"Loved everything we learned. Super Empowering!. The program was more than what I expected. It completely changed my view of personal safety and awareness and self defense. I want to tell all of my female friends, family members and the women's group at my church. This class is essential for every single women that has even a bit of anxiety about vulnerability. The training gave me the building blocks to step-up my inherent girl-power and cultivate my situational awareness to defend myself in many situations. Priceless. "

- Paige N.

"Protect-Her training changed my life forever."

"We came away incredibly empowered from this women's only self protection class! I highly recommend this 1/2 day seminar for any woman that has ever felt fear when parking their car, on an evening walk or jog, or vulnerable when out socially. Protect-Her training changed my life forever. WE ALL felt incredibly capable of protecting ourselves and our space after learning the simple self defense skills that we were able to use immediately afterwards to defend ourselves. I am going to take the class again with my college age daughter...this would be invaluable for her as well. "

- Maria V.

"Highly recommend this women's self-defense beginners program."

"As an on-the-go grandma, I wanted to be able to defend myself and my two grand children when we were out of the house. This course gave me a new strength and street smart knowledge to protect us all in different situations. The skills taught on avoidance, mindset, and awareness alone are worth the time and investment. I feel like a super G-momma bear that is capable of protecting my family! Highly recommend this women's self defense beginners program. Realistic and practical.
Thank you, GDI Safety!"
