Fun and educational for all ages and abilities!

This class was informative, interactive, and fun! Instructors were knowledgeable but kept things light and fun throughout. I liked that it was somewhat of an open forum, where we were able to ask about different scenarios and what to do in each of them. We were able to put what we learned into practice with partner drills. Practicing these drills really helped me develop the confidence to feel prepared to defend myself in any situation. Loved it!

Sarah M
In-Person Self-Defense Class

I took Lisa’s self defense class in person. It was really well done, helpful and gave me more confidence. Lisa knows what she is doing! I found the most helpful parts were the exercises. Practicing what you might do in a situation provides confidence and power. Thanks to Lisa and team. I highly recommend this course.
