About

Women’s Self-Defense Classes

Build confidence, strengthen your awareness, and learn practical skills to help you stay safe.

Join instructor Diana LeBlanc, a retired teacher with a Jiu Jitsu brown belt, Tae Kwon Do black belt, and Women Empowered pink belt. Diana creates a supportive and welcoming environment where women and girls can learn at their own pace.

This 17-class, trauma-informed course will teach you how to:

  • Set clear and confident boundaries

  • Use leverage-based techniques to help you escape an attacker

  • Recognize potential risks through situational awareness

  • Respond with greater confidence in challenging situations.

No prior experience is necessary, and you may attend one class or the entire series. Please wear comfortable athletic clothing. Participants must be age 13 or older, and girls under 18 must have an adult present.

The cost is $300 for the full series or $20 per class. Discounts are available for Fitness Revolution members and also for family members who participate together. Drop ins are welcome.
