shines like a Woman Empowered How is a woman empowered? She is confident,
secure in both herself and her place in the world. The world is a better place
simply because she stands, powerful and free. She nurtures and guides those she
loves, giving them permission to be powerful and free. Tactically…Women is the name of a series developed exclusively for women. It is extreme self protection and empowerment for life that transcends the common instruction, pawned off as effective techniques for all. The course stems from understanding that women respond to all things on an emotional level. Not just self protection, but everything. A woman connects with things that are important to her. She connects emotionally, mentally and physically. That is why 'Tactically…Women' is not your average self defense course.

The worst part of an assault is the helplessness the victim experiences. Tactically…Women not only empowers with simple, effective techniques for an escape, but also psychologically and emotionally by enabling her to maintain the presence of mind necessary to recognize or create an opportunity to get away. Often, we do not know how to identify potentially dangerous situations until it's too late. The elements of basic safety and awareness are a crucial part of self protection. The techniques are designed to help any woman escape from her attacker, whether she is standing or thrown to the ground.
The techniques of Tactically…Women are not based on punches and kicks as are most other self-defense courses for women. Punches and kicks offer very little chance against an attacker who is most likely going to be bigger, stronger and able to hit back. Futhermore, they are useless on the ground which is where the assault will likely occur. The movements of Tactically…Women are tactically sound techniques that use leverage and technique and do not require strength, speed or coordination. They can, therefore, be used by women of any age, size, strength or level of physical fitness. Tactically…Women is unique in it use of adrenal stress training, the power of the voice and looking into the criminal mindset. These often ignored tools are brought to the forefront of Tactically…Women. Taking back your true power and recapturing your spirit is the basis of this training.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: To nurture the ability to maintain control in the face of assault. We seek to replace the feeling of helplessness with one of power and choice. Empowering you emotionally, spiritually and physically so you can identify or create an opportunity for escape.
Learn to identify a potentially dangerous situation: Lack of awareness is probably the most common reason for ending up in a bad situation. As our world vies for more and more of our time and energy, our awareness of our surroundings diminishes. Simple techniques for safety and awareness are taught that will help avoid possible danger before it escalates into an assault.
Escape: Ultimately, escape is the goal of self-protection. TACTICALLY…WOMEN teaches the means of escape from her attacker from a standing position on the ground. The techniques not based on strikes or kicks, but rather on immutable principles of human mechanics and do not require speed, strength or coordination. The truth is, punching and kicking generally only worsen a situation against a man who is generally stronger and looking for domination. Physically, a man is stronger and striking or kicking will only cause the assailant to strike back harder, more furiously, and without remorse.
Program format: The program is taught in such a manner that each student will be able to understand and perform the techniques both with and without coaching. Each student works with a partner and assumes the rolls of attacker and victim, allowing a look into mindset of the attacker and the choices of the 'victim'. Students are encouraged to encourage and help each other, creating the bond of community and sisterhood. After all, the course is about reaching in and reaching out. We learn to overcome the panic response, practice strategy and perform the techniques in a situation. The complete course consists of 6 classes of approximately 2 hours each. It can be presented as 6 classes or taught over 2 days in an intense 2 day format. Students can enter the course at any point, as the process of learning is circular and students are encouraged to attend regularly. This keeps with out belief that to empower yourself, you must make empowering practices part an integral part of your life. Althought no program can ever guarantee that the participant will always be prepared against any attacker, TACTICALLY…WOMEN was designed for the most important reason of all…ABUNDANT LIFE AND LIVING IT FULLY! We are all entitled to it and we should never live in fear of someone else denying of taking it from us.
'TACTICALLY…WOMEN' IS EMPOWERMENT. IT STRENGTHENS THE SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY, TEACHING US THAT THE REAL BATTLE LIES WITHIN!
