Fortress will be offering a 4-Hour Women's Self-Defense Course at Fuel Fitness Center in Cedar Lake, IN, Saturday, September 22nd, from 10:30am till 2:30pm. Cost is $50, ages 16, and up.

One of the most common groups chosen for victimization are women because they are perceived by criminals to be "weak." Nothing could be further from the truth! We at Fortress are firm believers that all women should learn strategies and techniques which will give the advantage during a violent attack. We also understand that due to practical, legal or philosophical restraints, some women are restricted in their choices of self-defense equipment. Our Women's Self-Defense course is designed to address these issues and provide a customized, individual defense plan for all clients, regardless of age, abilities or situation.

Courses are run as "women only" and no male students are allowed to participate or observe.

Courses may be comprised of your choice of the following:

Mindset
Awareness
Disengagement techniques
Pepper spray
Kubotan
Body striking target areas
Defensive blade
Disarm techniques
Improvised weapons
Vehicle defense tactics
Home security
Workplace security
Defensive tactics and options while traveling with children
Procedures in event of stalker

And much more!
