Women's Self-Defense Classes in Damascus, MD

Safe. Strong. Connected.

Feel safe in your own skin. Stay strong in your own body. Belong to something good.

Women's Self-Defense is for women and girls ages 13 and up. Learn simple, practical ways to stay aware, set boundaries, and break free if someone grabs you. The techniques use leverage and timing, not strength, so they work against someone bigger. No experience needed, and you don't have to be in shape.

Your instructors are Amara Ninan, Matthew Thompson and Abby Worth.

What to expect

• A one on one start. On your first visit you learn a strong standing base and a wrist escape before joining the group.
• Games and drills. Practice at your own pace with a partner. There is no live sparring.
• Your comfort comes first. We ask before working with you, and you can sit out any drill.
