Women are not fighting the same fight our mothers and grandmothers were. It's time to ditch outdated approaches and reclaim self-defense as a holistic practice for modern women—one that blends physical, emotional, and digital tools. True self-defense goes beyond the physical. When women are connected to their inner strength, intuition, and power, they move through the world differently—less likely to freeze, more likely to act decisively. Modern threats require modern tools. And the women of today? We're ready to rise to the challenge.
