Women’s Self-Defence
for Schools, Institutions,
Universities and Associations

Our Philosophy
Offering seminars and webinars on self-defense and respect within these facilities is not just about raising awareness, but a concrete step toward building inclusive and safe environments for all.
Self-defense is not limited to the physical dimension, but includes the ability to recognize situations of manipulation or abuse, learning to establish and defend psychological and relational boundaries.

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.
