Women's Self Defense
Confidence • Empowerment • Real-World Safety
✨Why This Matters
Despite the staggering statistics, most women have no real self-defense training — not because we’re not capable, but because no one ever taught us.
The truth is, you don’t need complicated moves.
You just need simple, real-world skills and the confidence to use them.
When you know what to look for, how to respond, and when to trust your instincts, everything changes.
You feel clearer, stronger, more prepared — more in control of your space and your safety.
This is your moment to get educated, build real skills, and empower yourself and the women you love.
✨What We're About
✅ Practical Skills for Real Life - Train for the situations women actually face - parking lots, elevators, social situations, and more.
✅ Connection to Your Power - You’re already wired with what you need to protect yourself. We help you bring those instincts forward so they’re there when you need them.
✅ Confidence That Lasts - Shift the way you move through your day and carry that empowerment into every part of your life.
✅ For Women, By Women - Led by women and self-defense experts, our classes are practical, transformative, and fun.
✅ Accessible to All - You don’t need to be fit or athletic. Our training is designed for all fitness levels and ages (12+) .

💬 What Women Are Saying
"Tina, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for last night’s mother-daughter self-defense session. It exceeded my expectations. Education, real life examples, and hands-on drills with you and your team. Thanks to you, my college-bound daughter and her high school friends (and their moms!) gained a new realization of how to be proactive and aware...I already slept easier last night, knowing my daughter and her friends are armed with knowledge and skills to keep them safer on a daily basis. For that I am so grateful. Thanks again!"
Jane S
Suffern, NY
"I am former law enforcement and took this class as a refresher, and brought my mother. I would highly recommend this class for everyone...The amount that they were able to instruct and demonstrate in only 90 minutes was incredible. I am hoping to sign up with them for another class."
Samara H
Fishkill, NY
This class was AMAZING! The life skills she has taught my daughter and I are invaluable and easy to incorporate into many day to day scenarios. I feel so much better that Abby knows how to be safe when she goes out now. Highly recommend!!!
Ann B

"I went to my first LifeForce Self Defense class last night. What an amazing experience! Tina and her staff are welcoming and come with a wide range of practical knowledge. I felt comfortable from the start and I am super eager to learn more!"
Bethany R
Nanuet NY
"Tina and her fellow instructors are amazing! My 12 year old daughter and I signed up for a women's self defense class and didn't really know what to expect. We were given plenty of demonstrations and hands on training. Everyone was really engaging, informative, and kept positive encouragement flowing throughout the class. We had fun and learned a lot of potentially lifesaving advice and techniques."
Kasey S

"This is a must for every single woman. I've told all my friends at work they have to take this course. Total game changer."
Amanda D

“I came for self-defense skills, but I left with a totally different outlook. Every woman needs to do this!”
Lydia G
Elmsford, NY
"I'm in my sixties and thought I could never participate in a self-defense class. But Tina and the guys made everything so accessible, I learned so much, and now I'm going home to teach my granddaughter!"
Chris B
Philadelphia, PA
"I was definitely intimidated, but I've thought about taking a class for years. I brought my daughter so she knows what to do when she goes off to school. It was so great, 'm totally blown away and we learned so much - I wish I had known this stuff when I was her age!"
