Pretty Deadly Self Defense

Pretty Deadly uses self defense to (re)discover the joy of movement and the power of our bodies. Based on natural movement and body dynamics, Pretty Deadly helps you find what's right for your body, and focus on body literacy over bodily harm.

Pretty Deadly is a practice developed on the group founder Susie Kahlich's experiences as a solo traveler, violent crime survivor, and 25+ years of martial arts training.

We welcome anyone who identifies as female to learn practical, reliable self defense in a non-combative, non-competitive environment.
