About Us

^{The Women’s Self-Defense Center is dedicated
to arming all women with realistic self-defense techniques against the crime of rape & domestic violence.

All of our courses and seminars are free and
open to women of all ages.

We do not sell or endorse any books, videos, or web sites which show the self defense techniques which we teach. We feel to make a profit off of the crime of rape is a crime itself.}

^{We would rather have a woman know what to do and never have to use it, then to have to use it and not know what to do..}

_{W.A.R. An acronym for Women Against Rape
is a no-nonsense self-defense course that
was developed in 1989 from a pilot
program in Southern California.
Unlike most rape prevention classes,
which use traditional martial arts techniques,
Women Against Rape is a complete ensemble
of anti-rape techniques originally created, and
time tested over a period of 20 years.}

Your commitment to alerting women about the threat and reality of rape is very evident and appreciated.

I’m really impressed with your program. I appreciate the complete lack of Bull S... and the common-sense advice.

Excellent course! This is what I was looking for – no fluff!
Rebecca

Before I signed up for this class I checked all around for different options. As it seemed up front, this has been the most realistic and helpful self-defense class I’ve seen offered. I will definitely recommend it to other women.
