Self Defense
SafeSkills® workshops cover verbal, physical, and psychological self-defense against
the most common types of assaults. The skills we teach do not require great size
or strength. People of all fitness levels, age, and body types can learn these practical
and valuable skills in a SafeSkills® workshop.
Sometimes people are afraid to attend a self-defense class, thinking they will learn
throwing or other complicated techniques. The SafeSkills® instructors' approach
is different. Our supportive atmosphere with a team teaching approach makes these
skills accessible. You can read our Self Defense FAQ
for more details.
If you are looking for a practical and sensitive approach to self-protection training,
come join us for a powerful workshop that is informative, dynamic and fun!

Great workshop! Tons of accurate information that my teen daughter needed to hear and ask questions about. I found it to be both fun and very determined training.

You taught such useful skills! I am a runner and most people tell you to always run with a friend or just don’t run. But I want to LIVE my life so this has helped me be so much more to be safe as I do live my life.

I now understand that my power comes from “within” myself. That is real power for rape survivor!

I now know that I have the right to assert myself and to leave if I am uncomfortable even if it is in an interaction with a friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would definitely do it again. It changed my whole outlook on my safety and my own “good girl syndrome”. Empowering!

In the workshop, I remembered situations that I’ve experienced. These were “close calls” since I somehow managed to get away. You were talking about “changing the outcome of an attack” which made me realize I could be more pro-active and powerful in my life. That had a strong validating resonance.
