Join us for a dynamic and empowering self-defense workshop designed specifically for women of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or looking to refresh and refine your skills, this class provides a supportive and inclusive environment where you can learn practical, real-world techniques that truly work.
Led by the experienced team at Fit 2 Defend, this workshop combines a short, informative lecture with hands-on practice. You’ll learn how to protect yourself across multiple ranges of defense, understand the importance of situational awareness, and gain insight into the golden rules of self-defense that can help prevent dangerous encounters before they happen.
Through realistic scenarios and step-by-step instruction, you’ll build physical skills, mental preparedness, and the self-assurance needed to respond effectively under pressure. Fit 2 Defend has trained and empowered hundreds of women with great success, and now it’s your turn to take the first step toward personal safety and empowerment.
Come dressed to move, bring water, and get ready to leave this workshop feeling stronger, smarter, and more confident in your ability to defend yourself.
