Discover your inner strength and say: Thanks, I can defend myself!

Do you know where your power comes from? From confidence and composure. From speed and decisive reactions. From the ability to use an attacker’s force against them. From good reflexes.

Take care of your safety and learn basic self-defense techniques. From the very beginning, in the company of other women and in an atmosphere of acceptance. You don’t need to be especially fit or to have any prior martial arts experience!

During the course you’ll learn how to act and what to avoid in dangerous situations. You’ll practice the most effective strikes and kicks. You’ll begin to build defensive reflexes. You’ll improve your endurance and reaction time. You’ll learn how to manage the fear of a possible attack. You’ll gain greater self-confidence.

We have conducted self-defense workshops for NOKIA, Infinity Ward, State Street, EPP, Globalworth, INNOGY, ArcelorMittal, the Siemacha Association, CISCO Systems, the University of Economics and Computer Science in Kraków, the Chamber of Bailiffs in Kraków, Jacobs, the Podgórze Cultural Center, and many other companies and institutions.

Our latest beginner self-defense course is the result of over ten years of work (we’ve been active since 2011!). During this time, we’ve organized more than 100 open editions, with over 1,200 participants training with us!

It’s a mix of exercises, practical knowledge, and movement-based games. To make your new skills stick, we’ve prepared training sessions, mini-lectures, movement games, and a set of instructional videos..

Magda

I’m really glad I found this course and I recommend it to any woman who wants to learn the basics of self-defense. The atmosphere was friendly, the content was high-quality, and there was a lot of useful information. I liked that I learned self-defense techniques and had the chance to practice them with a partner. I think this would help me stay calm and not panic immediately in a dangerous situation 🙂

Agata

After the first edition of the self-defense course, I was eager for more. The classes teach you how not to panic in a crisis, build self-confidence, and are also a great way to spend free time with a group of wonderful women. I highly recommend it!

Verte

This self-defense course met all my expectations! I learned a lot (even though I hope I’ll never have to use this knowledge) and met some great people!

Iza

I’m delighted with the self-defense course! I expected interesting classes, but it was even better than I thought! I learned a lot and will definitely continue this kind of activity. And on top of that, the company was great - both the instructors and the other participants.

Basia

I recommend it - the self-defense course is a great way to learn how to react in a dark street, and also a good way to relieve stress after a hard day at work.

Edyta

I rate the self-defense course very highly. I learned many useful techniques that were simple to perform and effective. The approach was professional, the organization was very good, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Everyone has the right to fight for their own safety. I highly recommend it!

Joanna Stankiewicz

I would definitely recommend the course to others. The atmosphere was great. The instructors were patient, skilled, and supportive. After the first class, I already felt more confident - in my body and in my mind. What I liked most was the number of different techniques, the individual attention for everyone, clear corrections, and exercises explained in a simple and easy way.

Kinga

The self-defense course was excellent. I didn’t expect that using just a few techniques could knock someone to the ground, and that you don’t have to be strong or a very big woman to do it.

Ania

Girls, don’t be shy. We all come to self-defense classes for the same reason - to feel less fear and more strength. Knowing that I am not helpless is priceless!
