This women's self defense class will teach the basics of situational awareness and physical self defense. We live in a world where hate crimes have escalated drastically in the last few years. And because of conspiracy theory and ignorance women of color have borne the brunt of that escalation. Defense-ability is offering a program that will help Silicon Valley women of color protect themselves/fight back.
Ours are not your typical self defense classes. Our classes were created to address the real world situations that women face on a daily basis. There is not a woman in this world who has not experienced some sort of verbal or physical harassment, or an actual physical attack. What distinguishes a class at Defense-ability from what's labeled "typical self-defense" is the focus on practical defensive actions for women.
If you've attended one of our self defense classes at Defense-ability, and would like to practice the physical self defense techniques you learned, join us for a 90 minute Self Defense Practice class. It's great to learn the techniques, but you'll be able to use them more effectively if you practice.

Thank you Rebecca for such a wonderful class. You broke down the information into very manageable bites anyone can incorporate into everyday life. It is information people should have at any age ( ours 50+) and we walked away equipped with an action plan and a sense of control. Thank you also for accommodating some of our chronic conditions in your instruction, making the class safe for everyone in our group. Terri D

This past Sunday I stepped out of my box and took a mother daughter self-defense class with Rebecca. I was amazed at how much I learned in such little time. Rebecca is super knowledgeable, a great listener and an even better teacher. Every female should equip themselves with the tools to know how to get out of a bad situation fast. Her class is so worth the money and the time. The tools she will equip you with might just save your life one day. I highly recommend this class. I cant wait to do the monthly 2 hour practice class.

Recently, my wife and daughter took Rebecca's Mother-Daughter self-defense class (August 6, 2017), then participated in a follow-up practice class (September 23). They liked both classes very much - Rebecca is very patient (so if you're afraid you might embarrass yourself or don't think you can do it, Rebecca will take you through the moves one on… one at your own pace) and extremely knowledgeable. Fathers and husbands, please consider having your daughters/wives take this class! And then be sure to go back and attend a few practice classes so you learn to protect yourself without having

Straight to the point and very practical. These are situations that you might encounter in life. Rebecca makes it very easy to learn. She has MANY years of experience in this field. She knows what she is doing. Thank you Rebecca for offering this class. I feel so knowledgeable and prepared now. I know what to do to protect myself if any situation arises. I also like how she talks about "predator behavior." This class is great. No regrets. Rebecca you ROCK!
