 “I have always been the type of person to shrink back and so I feel like training has helped me in that aspect.  I still have more to go as I train, I learn more about myself, and I get better.  Training is a process that takes a while, but I think in the outside world, that's still a process…”

Meet A

"I am 30 years old and training in self defense came along about a year and a half ago.  I was attracted to the idea of being a ‘badass’ and quite frankly, (finally) at the age of 28 I was tired of feeling helpless.  There was moment after moment, experience after experience of when I felt so helpless, helpless and at the mercy of others.   I cant tell you how fucking tired I was of feeling that way..."

“When I started I was getting amazing training and realized women have a different mindset of training than men.  Men are not really thinking about getting picked up, they have never lived with a target on their back their entire life,  but if you are 140 lbs and a women, you are a target. . I DO have a target on my back, the thing is I want to be a really hard target to hit.  I am not going to make it easy for anybody to attack me, that’s been my motivation. .”
