✨ Why Attend the FIGHT BACK Women’s Self-Defense Seminar?

Build your skills step by step, from recognizing concerning behavior to responding to physical contact and practicing under pressure.

👀 1. Awareness, Boundaries & Prevention

Recognizing a problem early can give you more time to make decisions.

  • Recognize concerning behavior and warning signs.
  • Maintain distance and protect your personal space.
  • Use confident verbal boundaries.
  • Understand when it’s time to disengage and leave.

Your awareness, voice, and decisions are important parts of personal safety.

✋ 2. Dealing With Unwanted Contact

Learn how to respond when someone grabs your wrist, clothing, hair, or body, tries to restrain you, or prevents you from leaving.

  • Practice responses to common grabs and restraints.
  • Work on breaking another person’s control.
  • Create space so you can move.
  • Look for opportunities to get away.

The focus is on breaking control, creating space, and escaping.

🥊 3. Striking When You Need It

Learn practical strikes using your hands, elbows, knees, and legs. Explore how body mechanics help generate power without relying solely on size or strength.

  • Practice simple strikes with purpose.
  • Use movement and positioning to support your strikes.
  • Connect striking with creating distance.
  • Recognize opportunities to disengage and escape.

Learn when and how to use strikes to create an opportunity to get away.

🧩 4. When You’re at a Disadvantage

Work through more difficult positions, including being pinned, pushed against a wall, grabbed from behind, or ending up on the ground.

Explore how these principles can help when another person is larger or stronger:

  • Positioning and leverage.
  • Movement and creating space.
  • Targeting and purposeful responses.
  • Finding opportunities to escape difficult positions.

🔥 5. Putting It Together Under Pressure

As the seminar progresses, we’ll connect the skills and introduce realistic resistance so you can practice making decisions while a training partner actively works against you.

The goal is to understand a few important principles and practice applying them when the situation becomes more challenging.

Build confidence through practice, experience, and a clearer understanding of your options.
