Great question! You're not the first one to hesitate. That's why we created a quiz to help you know for sure with just answering a couple questions. You can find that here.

All of our training is for real people - meaning of every shape and size, with-and-without injuries and limitations. If you are concerned about your hips, your shoulder, your knees, etc - stick with the short self-defense classes and Bodyguard Training for Moms™ because in the other self-defense programs we get much more physical. But know that you are more than welcome to take any training we offer and we can adapt everything taught to what you bring (and do not bring) to the table. Every person is capable and deserves to be and feel safe.

Sure, that would be the most comfortable. However, you are welcome to wear whatever you want. Remember, we are preparing for real-life, so if you want to wear your pencil skirt and pumps that you wear most days - feel free to do so! However, you may not want to wear a pencil skirt or pumps you aren't willing to retire because, especially with our full-day self-defense programs, they can get roughed-up a bit.

The cost of training depends on a few factors, like where training is going to take place and how many participants you have. Because of this, we send program pricing straight to your email after you take that Quiz to get your right results. Here's a link to that quiz again.

Absolutely! Training like this is an investment, and our payment processor offers 3rd party apps that allow qualifying person to set up payment plans.

You decide! Most of the training we provide is private training that we bring to private groups, and we happily bring training all over the United States. Quite often, we provide training for 8-10 participants in the living room or basement of a private home. We would be glad to help you move a coffee table or couch, if that's helpful. Otherwise, training frequently takes place in school gyms, local churches, VFW halls, yoga studios and more.

We happily provide 1:1 training, but while there is no minimum participation, we do have minimum amounts for bringing different training to different locations. Again, it all starts with that Quiz and then all of your money questions are answers.

Great question. We are willing to teach any of our short classes for groups up to 30, and we will bring 3 instructors in order to do so. However, we suggest groups of 10, maybe 15 for the most thorough training (that gets you 2 instructors). For our self-defense programs, because of the advanced nature of the training, we limit participation to 10 in order to provide a 1:5 instructor to student ratio which is required for quality training of this content.

No worries! There are a few options: (1) We are confident you have a friend that would love to put together a self-defense class. A quick post to social media will probably be enough for someone you know to take over and enjoy arranging the details. (2) You are welcome to take any of our training and pay the minimum for private, 1:1 training. (3) On occasion, we do offer public self defense classes that you could simply join. Carrie teaches a variety of training through multiple companies. You can find and follow her public classes here.

Mama, we trust your judgement. There are no hard, fast rules. However, we do have training for every age. If you take that quiz, it will point you for the right training based on your needs and the ages of participants.

A note about Our Super Secret Weapon - this is a devastating tool that can really hurt someone. We recommend driving age and up for that reason and also because it's a keychain and goes on keys. However, we have taught tweens, and a couple younger children over the years, that were in need of serious protection from persistent threats.
