Self-Defense for Women

At Lioness Martial Arts we are committed to providing women with excellent self-defense instruction and a safe, supportive environment in which to learn.

Self-Defense for Women (Beginning)
Designed for the novice student, this 4-session course is open to all women, age 16 and up.
In these classes you will learn a variety options for staying safe -- many of which are non-physical, including awareness skills; avoidance strategies; how to set and maintain strong boundaries; using your intuition, and verbal self-defense techniques.
Students also learn fighting skills including releases from various holds, and ways to disable an assailant with basic kicks and strikes. Each technique is broken down into easy-to-learn components and practiced safely in class.

Intermediate and Advanced Self-Defense
These courses are offered to students who wish to continue their self-defense training. Additional physical and verbal defenses are covered.
Safety Skills Workshop for Women

This workshop is designed to give attendees a fast and fun introduction to personal safety. Participants learn common-sense strategies to reduce risk, the power of voice, how to use attitude effectively, and simple but powerful physical techniques. Women of all ages and abilities are welcome!
Private Classes for Women and Girls 
You provide the students and we’ll teach the classes!
Learning self-defense with friends, family, colleagues or classmates can be an especially fun and empowering experience. We will create a custom program or class to meet the specific needs of your group.
Some examples of private group classes and the people who choose this option:
- A workshop or comprehensive self-defense course designed just for girls or teens.
- Self-defense instruction for a group of mothers and their teen or tween daughters
- Personal safety classes for young women graduating from high school who are about to live on their own for the first time.
- A group of women who want to learn self-defense, but can’t make it to our regularly scheduled classes.
- Any group that wants a small class size, or instruction that is specifically designed for their group.
Classes may be held at your location or at ours (in Pittsburgh’s East End) and can be arranged to fit your budget and schedule.

Please contact us to discuss what we can do for your group!

This was a great class. I've attended classes before about how to to take care of yourself when being attacked or even when being approached in an intimidating or threatening manner. This is the first class that really gave me the feeling of being empowered to take care of myself. I appreciate the company making this class available to employees.

I think your approach with young girls is efficient, informative and empathetic. They learn a lot of practical self-defense techniques in a short amount of time in a comfortable, trusting environment. Your rapport with the kids is outstanding and that's a big reason why they learn so quickly. But the most important lesson you taught them was how to avoid bad situations in the first place. I think any child or school could benefit from your youth programs."

Our Clubhouse offers support to those touched by cancer. A group of people who feel they are constantly on the defense through many moments in their lives, at work, at the doctors, with their friends and family, etc. A group of 15 members came together and “Kicked some butt” as they liked to say. The enthusiasm and confidence after their class with Lioness Martial Arts was incredible. They are excited to welcome Mona back and learn even more defensive and confidence boosting skills.

Just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed the class. Although the girls loved the kicking and striking, I loved the discussions on situational awareness, consent, etc. The class was perfectly suited for us.

This class was so cool. I feel better about being alone in the house or on the street after taking it. Thanks.
