Who is this class for?

Our Women's Self Defense seminar is for cis and trans women, and nonbinary folks who feel comfortable being in a women-centered class.

We also welcome anyone aged 13 years and older, as long as when they register we have an adult signature on file. There's no upper age limit.

Do I need to be in shape or have experience?

Nope! This is the great thing about learning Krav Maga. It's an effective, efficient self defense system that was developed to be learned quickly.

What should I wear? Do I need to bring anything?

Dress in athletic clothing you feel comfortable moving and sweating in. Bring a bottle of water.

For Krav Maga class, we don’t allow training with outdoor shoes on our blue mats. You are welcome to train barefoot (which is what most people do) or bring any athletic shoes that you only wear on our mats. You’ll want to bring them in and change into them once on the mats.

I'm not really aggressive. Is this for me?

Yes, absolutely! We'll teach you skills to get you home safe. You don't have to do anything in our class that you don't feel comfortable doing.

I've been assaulted in the past and I'm nervous about being triggered.

We advise you to speak to a licensed therapist about whether this is the right training (and the right time) for you right now. We're not mental healthcare professionals. However, we have found many of our students find healing in unexpected ways when they pair working with a mental healthcare professional with training in Krav Maga.

With that said, you can opt out of anything, at any time, and for any reason. (And you don't owe us an explanation why.)

Do you have a regular Women's Self Defense class?

Yes! Emily and Kaci teach Women's Self Defense every Thursday at 7pm.
