While my Tough Cookie Travel Self Defense Courses offer comprehensive, holistic and realistic training to keep you safe and strong wherever you roam, they are still online only. So if you want to round out your self defense training with more hands-on instruction (which I highly recommend), then look below to see if there are any classes I recommend in your area.

These are the organizations with my Tough Cookie stamp of approval, who echo my own Tough Cookie values and teach women’s self defense in a truly holistic, realistic, and trauma-sensitive way that will provide you with the essential mental and physical skills that you need to stay safe and strong as a womxn in the world.
