GIRLS GONE SAFE!
Girls Gone Safe - Women's Safety
About Our Girls Gone Safe Program
The simple fact is that women (in general) face different types of attacks than men, and the attackers are motivated differently. Women tend to face attacks that are perpetrated by intimate partners, are sexual or controlling in nature, and most often occur in their homes.
These are not just learning how to punch and kick stuff. Behind our courses are volumes of data about:
Most common attacks women face
Where, when and how they occur
Stalking and intimate partner issues
Safe communication methods
Safe bystander intervention approaches
We keep our courses fun, interactive and on message. “Situational awareness” is a topic you hear about a lot, but we show you military proven methods of learning it. “De-escalate” isn’t just a talking point - we drill the exact ways to do this.
And we can do all of this while having fun and being extremely safe.
WE DO PRIVATE WORKSHOPS FOR WOMEN AS WELL!
Contact us if you are interesting in information about having a Women’s Self Defense Workshop for your group!
We can do groups as little as 4-5 or as large as 100+
Cost is $25/pp for a 90 minute private workshop
The Importance of Women's Self Defense
Women face unique issues when it comes to self defense. They face the same challenges that men face, but with many other problems that also must be dealt with.
Unfortunately, 1 in 5 women will be raped during their lifetime and 91% of the victims of rape and sexual assault are women. In addition to rape, women also face higher rates of being stalked and followed. A majority of victims are women, yet few know self defense. Furthermore, women usually have to deal with attackers larger, stronger, and more aggressive than them.
Training in Krav Maga and learning proper techniques teaches women situational awareness, and how to defend themselves against a variety of attacks and larger opponents.
