Self-Defense and

Empowerment

For Women and Girls

There are two distinct avenues to self-defense instruction at Wild Inside Wellness. Both are by women for women models that seek to empower women and girls with the tools to navigate situations of safety and self-defense with confidence.

  • Empowerment Self-Defense

    Empowerment self-defense is a model of self-defense which seeks to empower women and girls through a 5-step model. It is appropriate for all ages, but most especially for those who need support in identifying and setting personal boundaries, speaking up and using their voice in many situations, violent or otherwise, and offers confidence building exercises. It is a trauma informed model of self-defense which seeks to offer gentle guidance and support for women and girls at all stages of life. It is also a great model for mixed groups teens and preteens who are learning to navigate boundaries and consent. Basic techniques for physical self-defense are a part of every class.

  • Soul Punch Self-Defense

    Soul Punch Self-Defense is a model of self-defense for women and girls who seek to take their training to the next level. Each Soul Punch class offers instruction on situational awareness, boundaries in unfamiliar situations, learning how to command your presence, use of voice as a life-saving tool, as well as physical self-defense techniques. The physical techniques encompass basic strikes as well as navigating a variety of holds and grabs.

    A part of every class is instruction with a multi-functional smart pepper spray called the Soul DefendHer.

Both ESD and Soul Punch are portable trainings making it easy and comfortable to host a training session in the comfort of your home, office, or shared private space. You can keep an eye on my public offerings for a class or put a private group together and reach out directly to set up a class.

Class sizes range from 6-12 and price varies depending on format choice.

Though both ESD and Soul Punch are distinct offerings, they can also be combined into one longer format class by request.

To find out if a longer format class is the right fit for your group, please reach out directly.

Self-Defense classes are also available for members of the community, of all identities, on a private basis.
