Empowering Women through Tailored Self-Defense Training
Empowering Women through Tailored Self-Defense Training
At Wolverine School of Personal Safety, we offer two specialized courses for women: the Ladies Pistol/CCW and the Key Defender. These classes are designed to meet the unique needs of women who may prefer a more comfortable learning environment, free from mixed-gender stress. The instruction focuses on empowering women with the skills to defend themselves confidently, whether with a firearm or other defensive tools.
Ladies Pistol/CCW Class
The Ladies Pistol/CCW class is specifically designed for women who prefer a women-only learning environment. In this course, women can overcome any hesitations or discomforts they may feel about learning firearms in a mixed-gender setting. With a focus on safety, handling, and defensive techniques, women gain the confidence to carry a concealed weapon safely and effectively.
Key Defender: Non-Firearm Defense for Women
For women who prefer not to carry a firearm, the Key Defender course provides essential self-defense training using non-lethal methods. Focused on practical defense strategies, this course covers techniques like using a key as a weapon, basic strikes, and how to defend against an attacker in close quarters. Empowering women with confidence and physical skills, the Key Defender class is an essential part of personal safety.
Why We Limit Women's-Only Classes
While we offer only two women-only classes, we believe in the importance of training under "normal" conditions, which includes interacting with both male and female participants. Training in a mixed-gender environment better prepares women for real-life scenarios where survival stress is present. By reducing the stress during training, we create more effective, real-world responses to self-defense situations. Our goal is to ensure that every student learns to stay calm under pressure.
