In Kenya, about 34 percent of women have experienced physical violence since age 15 and 13 percent of women have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. 1 in 3 girls in Kenya will experience sexual violence before they turn 18. 1 in 4 women and girls living in Nairobi have been sexually assaulted. But wait! There is hope! Recent studies also conclude that women who complete a self-defense seminar or ongoing self-defense classes, are at least 50 to 60% less likely to be raped or sexually assaulted! Based on these STAGGERING statistics, women MUST make it a top priority to learn how to protect themselves, their daughters and their friends! There is no time and there are absolutely no reasons to wait! The risks of you, or someone you love suffering a violent crime are simply TOO IMMENSE, AND OUR FEM-DEFENSE PROGRAM TOO CRUCIAL, FOR YOU TO PROCRASTINATE!
Fem-Defense is a community of like-minded women who are determined to protect themselves and their loved ones against rape, sexual assault, and femicide using self-defense and rape prevention training. Sexual predators choose victims who they think will be easy targets. Self-defense training helps stop these violent crimes by teaching women simple but effective techniques to defend themselves. Once armed with this knowledge, women naturally project self-confidence and strength, reducing the risk of being singled out by a predator.
In our Fem-Defense Certificate Program, students master 24 critical core techniques to defend against predators properly. Once they have mastered these techniques, they will test for their certificate and earn the coveted pink belt!

We offer our popular “Seminar and Chai Experience” where your group can coordinate their way to our club, or our logistics team can come pick your group up from your venue and bring you to our school.
