Everyone practicing creating space while on the ground
I have been teaching a lot of self defense workshops lately and what is so great about this is that more and more people are wanting to empower themselves with essential skills to stay safe. But also more corporate companies are wanting to provide this knowledge to their employees for a safer work place.
Just last week I did a demonstration at the MGMGrand ballroom for 350 people who had never seen anything like this before followed by a workshop to another group at Browns Gymnastics in LV. It is so empowering to be building awareness and know that I can share with everyone the tools to stay safe and hopefully diffuse a possible situation.
I guide the class through specific techniques both standing up and on the ground, basic safety precautions and I and discuss the phycological aspects of self defense such as speaking up and trusting your intuition.

My women’s self defense workshop on the weekend with Athleta at F45 gym was lots of fun. It was such a pleasure to teach these ladies and girls some skills that could potentially be life saving. This initial workshop focused on blocking and framing and understanding concepts such as structural strength. I emphasis the importance of getting on our side and using our legs rather than being flat on our backs and pushing with our arms. This workshop set the frame work for other workshops to come where the focus is on reversing the fight and fighting back as a means to disarm the attacker. Stay tuned for the next progression!!!
Athleta will be sponsoring my up and coming Weekend Retreat In Anna Maria Island, FL this month. I am so happy that they will be a part of a second camp!!! Athleta strives to empower women and as well as making amazing workout gear, they host workshops and events that support women’s endeavors.
All the lucky ladies will be receiving a $25 gift card in their goodie bags!!!

Yesterday I taught another women’s self defense workshop with Athleta at Dragons Gym. For years I have worked with women who are trained in BJJ with a focus on adding a feminine touch, and now I am teaching women who are completely new to all this. Both are so rewarding and it makes my soul sing knowing I have taught these ladies some super empowering skills. I am truly blessed to be in a position to be teaching this. thank you Athleta for being a part of these events and spreading the word.
Stay tuned for my next workshop or 6 week course For more info you can read up about the FightingFIT program here:
I am super excited to be doing another women’s self defense workshop with Athleta. The event will be held closer to Athleta’s Henderson location at Dragon’s gym in LV. I will be focusing on techniques standing up and both on the ground to defend against an attacker. My speciality is ground work - what happens when you are already flat on your back. It is probably the most import because it is the hardest to get away from, yet it is the most overlooked. For all the ladies who missed my 1st workshops with Athleta in May, Come along to this one this Saturday July 20. Bring your sisters, mothers, friends and co workers. Let’s spread the word and collectively empower ourselves as women!
Last weekend I taught a women’s self defense workshop with Athleta at Redemption in Summerlin LV. I was so happy to see so many amazing ladies come to learn to further empower themselves. I taught a few techniques starting up and on the ground. I also covered a few basic physiologic aspects such as awareness and standing your ground.
Thank you Athleta for putting on this event and thank you for the gear! I love their clothing, but more importantly, I love what Athleta stands for. They strive to empower women and girls through fitness.
I love my Athleta marble set!
