Women’s self defense classes AT YOUR PACE

Women’s self-defense — at your pace, with methods that work under pressure.

Our trademarked, clinically informed Trauma-Informed Self-Defense® program was designed for women who want practical skills, not intensity or overwhelm. This is a structured, research-backed system that teaches you how to regulate your body under stress, interrupt freeze patterns, use your voice with authority, and apply simple defensive mechanics that hold up in real-world situations.

Unlike traditional martial arts and self defense classes, this program is grounded in behavioral science and nervous-system retraining. You learn at your own pace, in a calm and private environment, while building the confidence and capability to protect yourself with support, clarity and control.

WHAT IS TRAUMA INFORMED SELF DEFENSE™

Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ is an evidence-based training system created by Renée Rose in collaboration with the Shaan Saar LLC Security Group. The program combines practical self-defense with nervous-system tools that retrain freeze, fawn, and shutdown patterns.

Designed for women who want real skills without overwhelm, it teaches you how to regulate your body under pressure, set clear verbal boundaries, and use simple, high-leverage defensive movements that hold up in real conditions.

The focus is present-tense capability, calm, practiced control you can rely on when it matters most.

Most self-defense programs teach techniques.

We retrain the nervous system.

Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ blends behavioral science, threat-management training, and simple defensive mechanics to create responses you can rely on under pressure.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM DIFFERENT?

Most self-defense classes focus on techniques.
Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ is concept based and focuses on how your nervous system functions under pressure.

This program blends clinical insight, behavioral science, and real-world defensive mechanics to build responses that work when fear is high and clarity is limited. Instead of pushing intensity, we train the patterns your body relies on when fine motor skills fail or old survival strategies take over.

You learn how to:
• interrupt freeze and fawn patterns in real time
• use your voice with authority—clear, firm, and legally protective
• build movements that hold up under adrenaline, not just in practice
• restore calm, practiced decision-making instead of reactive panic

This is not fitness training or a sports based self defense class.
It is not exposure work.
It is not a traditional martial arts class.

It is a structured, evidence-based system designed to make your body more predictable under stress and more reliable when you need it most. The goal is present-tense capability: steady awareness, confident boundaries, and simple mechanics you can trust.
