Testimonials
“I had almost no experience with self-defense before going through this course, but it was so well-designed and easy-to-follow that I feel much more well equipped to protect myself in a bad situation. Rachel and Israel are both excellent teachers and they made the videos fun, engaging, and super informative!”
Aviv Joshua, course student
“I’ve been a martial artist for most of my life, and I’ve seen a lot of good and bad in it. The best come from a place of truly wanting to help others and with the integrity to be honest about the harsh reality of self protection. There’s no process that will make you invincible! But there are fundamentals that, with a bit of practice, will give you much better odds to get away from a horrible situation. I highly recommend this integrity-driven course!”

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
That’s totally fine! The techniques we teach are accessible and useful at any level, and we’ve provided modifications for any techniques that may be too difficult for some people.
-
All you need is a little bit of space to practice, and you don’t need any special equipment — just yourself, a partner (if possible), and an openness to learn a new mindset and new skills.
-
Don’t worry! We know that’s not always an option. Of course, it’s best to practice with a partner, but if you can’t, we’ve provided solo practice videos at the end of each module.
-
We definitely don’t think that will be the case. We don’t provide refunds (sorry, we just don’t have the team to handle that administrative headache!), but if you have any specific questions before you buy the course, feel free to reach out.
-
First of all, let us just say how sorry we are you have experienced something so horrific. You are incredibly brave for even considering a course like this. We do discuss rape, sexual, and other violence against women in this course, and it may not be right for everyone. We suggest you discuss this with a mental health professional before choosing to purchase the course. We are, of course, here to answer any further questions.
-
No, unfortunately, it would be impossible for us to make any such claim. The goal of this course is to give you a basic understanding of how to avoid bad situations and how to get out of those situations if you need to. Having a little knowledge is better than having no knowledge at all, but even a highly trained fighter can’t know for certain they’d be protected in every scenario.
-
With adult support, definitely! We do discuss things like rape and sexual assault in this course, so it’s up to your discretion if that’s appropriate for your child. But the techniques we teach are absolutely accessible for any age.
