Comments from our self-defense students:

"Thank you for teaching me great techniques but more than that -- giving me the confidence to believe that I can fight back. Thanks for a great class!"

"I appreciated not only the physical defense aspect of the class, but also the segments on verbal self-defense, boundaries, and avoiding dangerous situations. I also appreciated the energy and enthusiasm and total sense of commitment the two of you have with respect to what you are teaching. Thank you."

"Every week I left class with words that changed my way of thinking -- what constitutes disrespect, trust my instinct, direct speaking IS NOT impolite! Thank you for the confidence and strength these classes bring."

"Not only was this class effective and inspiring -- but also incredibly fun! If I could take this class again, I would!"

"Thanks for a great class. I found the discussions to be as educational and empowering as the physical skills. I really found this class to be a lesson in assertiveness, and it has benefited me in my relationships."

"This is such an excellent class. The instructors are very professional and have a wealth of experience. They gear the class with the appropriate material for their audience; and after we were finished, my daughter and I now feel empowered and have gained a strong skill set to keep us safe in this world."

"Lioness was a safe space for me to break through a wall of inaction. At the beginning of the course, I was full of adrenalin at the THOUGHT of confrontation. By the end, I was practicing self-defense like any other athletic activity. This experience is not only equipping me with moves to defend myself but also the confidence and experience to remain calm in the face of danger."

"This class far surpassed my expectations -- we learned many helpful things and I feel much more empowered. Thanks for your expertise and professionalism!"

"I went from feeling like a victim to feeling empowered. This class has taught me that I have the tools to keep safe. I now have that vital toolkit to use if I ever find myself in an unsafe situation again. The teachers are so wonderful, and they break everything down into manageable steps. When you put them together under their excellent guidance, you feel the power that is in every woman."
