Pretty Deadly was developed for the way we, women, actually learn, the things we actually face, and that's actually taught in a fun and friendly way!

But as much as we like to take scary subjects and make them fun to learn, we take our Trainers seriously. You can rest assured that I and all Pretty Deadly Certified Self Defense Instructors have:

  • learned effective and encouraging teaching tools to help non-martial artists easily acquire skills

  • have trauma awareness and support training

  • know how to design a self defense workshop, course and class that stays useful and relevant while supporting your confidence, self-trust and healthy connection to your body.
