Basic Self Defense Course
We offer our comprehensive 20-hour Basic Self Defense course, which is typically taught over a single weekend or can be spread out over four weeks in four 5-hour self-defense workshops.
Our Basic self-defense course is based on applying the research from thousands of crimes against women, academic reviews, and predator interviews. It covers the spectrum of threats women face (criminal mentality, dynamics of crimes against women, phases of an assault, predator typologies, alcohol, and drug-facilitated sexual assault, boundary setting to reduce conflict, while also teaching defense against the physical threats, practicing full force against the padded assailant so we can condition their reflexive responses (some people call this muscle memory). Keep in mind we started the padded assailant training back in 1971, and we are the most copied program. Read more on the Basic Self Defense Course.
