RECENT CLIENT REVIEW: “I recently completed a 6-week self-defense class, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. This program has been transformative for my confidence, self-esteem, and overall sense of safety. I now feel more secure in public spaces and know exactly what to do if faced with an assault. Simple activities, like walking to my car in a parking lot, no longer feel daunting. What truly sets this class apart is its holistic, trauma-informed approach. It not only equipped me with practical techniques for self-defense but also encouraged me to respect myself and prioritize my health and safety in all aspects of life. The instructor created a supportive and empowering environment that made learning both effective and empowering. If you’re looking for a program that builds skills, confidence, and resilience while acknowledging the importance of mental and emotional well-being, this is it. Highly recommend!" - E.J. More details on the content of this workshop by video (copy and paste into your browser): https://bit.ly/ExampleWorkshopContent Global Martial Arts, Senior Coach Dr. Mary Tichi here. I am quite passionate about empowering women to protect themselves (mind.body.spirit) and I am on a personal mission to combat the unfortunate statistics which suggests that 1/3 women may experience some sort of attempted assault in their lifetime. We can change these statistics with knowledge, confidence and empowerment to learn skills that will last a lifetime. Over the years, in talking with women, I find that some may have anxiety or reluctance to walk into a studio for training, as it can be intimidating for them. Or some women may think they are too old to learn new skills, or may think they are not in the best physical shape to learn these defense skills. Some women may not make themselves a priority and allow themselves the time in their busy lives to learn these essential skills... At Global Martial Arts, we have students from 4years old to 76years old of all fitness levels! Krav Maga Self Defense is specifically designed for everyday people to learn and use… to use our bodies natural instincts/natural responses for self defense. WE ALL DESERVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO DEFEND OURSELVES, NO MATTER OUR PHYSICAL SHAPE, PHYSICAL LIMITATION, CHALLENGED MINDSET OR AGE. Empowered Self Defense for our PERSONAL SAFETY, Empowered Self Defense for our HEALTH, and Empowered Self Defense for our MINDSET. Empowered Self Defense for all! I have put together this introductory workshop to provide a WOMEN'S ONLY space in a safe and trauma informed setting. Workshop is designed for women beginners to self defense, all fitness levels, ages 14+. Take control with knowledge and skills that last a lifetime.
