Testimonials
Our students have shared their experiences with us, and we're proud to share some of their testimonials:
- "This was one of the most positive and empowering experiences I've had. I truly feel more confident."
- "I really learned how powerful my voice is. I never realized how much stronger my physical movements can be when I add my voice."
- "This class made me rethink the need for women to submit to the social 'rules' we are governed by. It gave us the skills to physically fight, the voice and power to firmly say no, the eyes to take in details, and it taught us to embody our self-confidence."
- "I really loved and appreciated that this class was not just about physical methods of protection but also dealt with attitudes and even examined society as a whole. It gave me the permission and practice to listen to myself and not always have to be polite if I don't feel safe."
