Class locations vary as do the locations for private instruction.  Most instruction is currently being done in Gwinnett County, GA.

Our Philosophy

Our primary focus is to SAFELY educate and equip women so they do not have to rely on anyone other than themselves for their personal safety.  We will absolutely work with men, but some of our classes will be for "Ladies" only.
