About

This self-defense course for women was specifically created with the intent to give women the necessary basic skills for self-defense.  The components of the course have been developed over many years and course presentations. 

This course is unique in that:

–  Discussion of the mental and emotional aspects of self-defense, particularly with consideration of the difficulties, social attitudes, and the reality for women in their daily life (and awareness).

–  Instruction in useful, real-world techniques of physical self-defense, including avoiding threats, breaking free from an attacker, and escape from a threat situation.  Students are presented each simple technique, and practice with other women in the class group.

–  The opportunity to practice the skills and techniques shown with Alex, in a controlled and safe environment, as a stress simulation to practice what was learned and application of the information.
