Self defense classes for women

Post by Gotlabs »

I'm looking for places that teach self defense classes, it doesn't have to be women specific. Preferably somewhere that offers once a week, continual training not just a one or two day seminar. Within an hour of Fred preferably.

I see there is a Krav Maga class in Lorton. Don't sweat a hijack if you are looking for the same info.

Are you looking for a physical self-defense class, or something else?

We teach Refuse To Be A Victim as well as a SABRE pepper spray class.

Have you looked at the ones Fairfax County offers?
Not sure how far you want to drive, but there are three different rec centers that offer a "Self Defense for Women" course: http://parktakes.fairfaxcounty.gov/rev1 ... &offset=20

They have other martial arts classes as well.

In that case, speaking as a man with a daughter, I approve.
