Women's Self Defense Training:
The unfortunate truth is that we live in a world where women have no choice but to learn how to defend themselves against an almost constant threat of danger. As much as we wish this were not true, it is, and in the face of that unfortunate truth we have created The Empowered & Fearless Woman. This course is designed to educate women about the dangers that surround them, and to teach them how to recognize and defend themselves in those situations, to allow women to take back their power and their freedom.
"This class is amazing. I’m a 63 year old that runs around a lot by myself. I learned how to defend myself and not be afraid to do that by taking this class. It’s not just instructions for a little bit it’s a way of life. My safety is always in mind and the class changed my thinking and preparing for it."
-SHERRI
"Brandy really knows her stuff! This class made me more confident, and self aware. I can’t wait for my friends and family to take her class!"
-SONYA
"I actually came to her first class when she started self-defense over ten years ago. And in that time, I have basically lived a yellow life. It has kept me safe. I’ve been able to travel out of state, out of the country. Her lessons have changed my life to feel more secure and safe."

Let's Face theTruth...
Bad Things Can Happen to Anyone...
Fear & Freezing Up
70% to 80% of assaults occur at the hands of someone you know. Fear and freezing up are natural responses to danger, especially if the attacker is someone you thought you could trust. Having the confidence, knowledge, and skills to respond will empower you to act, to protect yourself, to take the power back from your attacker.
Afraid to Travel
Tourists can be easy targets for those who prey on travelers. Knowing what criminals are looking for, how to avoid it, and how to respond in a worst-case scenario will empower you to avoid, and to fight, escape, and survive should it be necessary. Travel with confidence knowing you have the skills to navigate any situation at home or abroad.
Fear of Dating
Dating is scary enough, but when you add in the threat of being physically assaulted, it can be downright dangerous. Learn to recognize and acknowledge red flags and gain the confidence to leave any situation in which you do not feel entirely safe. You do not have to be polite in the face of fear. Go out into the dating world with confidence, and with the skills to defend yourself should a worst-case scenario occur.
Introducing The Empowered & Fearless Woman
The most personal and intuitive program to learn how to recognize,
avoid, and survive danger! Take your power back!
Recognize
As women, we’ve already been looking over our shoulders for most of our lives and we can spot a red flag a mile away. But most of us have also experienced being caught off guard, missing something we should have noticed. Learn to recognize red flags, even the sneaky ones. And remember, it’s not your fault – it’s theirs.
Avoid
We shouldn’t have to live in a world where we must be constantly alert, but unfortunately, we do. Being aware of your surroundings, spotting the dangers that may surround you may help you avoid an attack. 90% of conflicts and dangerous situations can be avoided when you know what you're looking for and remember: it’s okay to not be polite.
Survive
It’s time to turn the tables on those who prey on women. Gain valuable skills and insight you can use when faced with an avoidable worst-case scenario. Gain the confidence and skills to escape, to survive, to live another day, and to show them what strength truly looks like.
