Level 1 & Level 2 Women's Self-Defense Seminar Series

Overview

NOTE: This is a seminar series. If you wish to take both classes, they happen one week apart, the 18th and the 25th of April. You can take just the Level 1 class, but you must attend the Level 1 to attend the Level 2.

Level 1

This seminar was for years our only offering. It focuses on the use of a knife as an equalizer and tool for women to utilize in a self-defense scenario. We cover knife use techniques, the basics of what to do if you get taken to the ground, and how to stand back up again. Escalation of force, importance of situational awareness, and verbal skills are also covered.

We go over gear recommendations, suggested reading, and help students identify improvised weapons and weapons of opportunity.

Level 2

This seminar is the next step. Learn how to access your weapon under stress, how to use hands and feet to create space or when a weapon isn't the answer, how to resist getting taken down, and how to survive if the fight goes to the ground.

In a knife fight, there is no weight class.
