Woman’s
Self-Defence
at Work

We promote women’s safety through seminars and self-defense courses for companies.

Our Philosophy

In a context where women often face risky situations, our philosophy is to bring the value of women’s self-defence to companies through targeted seminars in the workplace.

Companies that collaborate with us embrace a virtuous initiative, demonstrate a concrete commitment to protecting their employees and promote an innovative approach to prevention, safety and awareness.

Prevention

We believe that prevention is the most effective and fundamental tool of self-defence.

Martial Arts and
Combat Sports

We encourage women to practice martial arts and combat sports to improve coordination and perception of physical combat.

Self-Defense Devices

We encourage the use of sprays, beepers, etc. after proper training in their use.

Effective Defense Method

Our mission is to teach women how to recognise, avoid and – only if necessary – defend themselves against aggressors.

We dissuade from the idea that just knowing combat sports or martial arts is effective in dangerous situations.

We recognise strategy as the only method, applying a few techniques made automatic.

Services

Through our training seminars and practical courses, we strive to provide women with the tools and knowledge they need to face potentially dangerous situations with safety and confidence.

ABOUT US

Francesco Tessoni Rudmann

In 1999 He began the practice of Kung-Fu at the School of 3-time World Champion Grandmaster Shin Dae Woung (8th Dan) until in 2011, after numerous retreats at Chen Gi In Temple, he obtained the Instructor Diploma directly from Master Shin there. After another 5 years, he obtained his black belt 2nd Dan from UISP.

In 2014, together with other instructors, he founded the A.S.D. Kung Fu Club Genova, where Kung-Fu for adults, young people and children, Tai-chi are taught, and training on Personal Defence with UISP was started, proposing the women’s self-defence course, for which the instructors obtained the official Diploma in 2015, continuing with numerous refresher courses on Personal Defence.

Since 2017 he has been starting private lessons and teaching at high schools in Genoa.

In 2020, he obtained ASPP qualification and continued group courses in women’s self-defense, with collaborations at the Boxing gym “the 3 Pines” and from 2023, at the multi-sport “Pole & Cali Lab.”

In 2024, after obtaining the SPP trainer qualification and given the growing criticality of an increasingly topical issue, ‘Women’s Self-Defence Consultancy’ was born.
