I thought this was a self defense class?

It is, but as you will find out through the curriculum in our classes, women have been cheated through the years by society into thinking that they must be passive, agreeable and if they must act to preserve themselves it must be done in a defensive manner. Nothing is farther from the truth. In the wild and in many ancient societies women have been the leaders, the hunters and in some cases the protectors.

Why would we insist that our women, who many of us believe should be rearing our children, also insist that they be passive and docile, unable to protect our children. What of the woman that is out in the work place. That's good too. But why do we as a society defend a woman's right to be out in the world working and at the same time as a culture demand that they be soft and quiet, quick to please, and agreeable?

The term "Self Offense" is what the instructors at Warrior Women believe should be used when describing how a woman should preserve their safety. Women shouldn't have to wait to take action. They should learn to trust their instincts and when their body and mind tells them someone is dangerous, they should be trained to act offensively to end any danger that they feel they are in.

After all, the best defense is a good offense.
