"I really like the fact that the classes are not co-ed. I've come to see why they say women's self-defense is its own science. Women react differently, and they face different threats than men. And I really wouldn't want to learn most of what I'm learning in a co-ed setting. There is a great dynamic in the all female class. We all feel confident to speak up and comfortable to get physical. I enjoy the company of the women in my class so much that we meet outside on our own time around a punching bag, drill what we learn, help each other out. If you want to learn how to defend yourself, get exercise and have fun, this is the place to be!" Sarah DeCruz - Somerville, MA
