Participants learn skills which are developed based on individual personal assets with customized defense coaching. Personal defense education introduces strategies and tactics that include, levels of force, mindset preparation, awareness, verbalization, escape and evasion concepts, violence dynamics as well as physical skills for a physical force encounter in society today. Any woman can learn personal defense skills, regardless of her ability agility or experience.
