Trauma informed Self defense™ FOR WOMEN
in-person COurse ORlando FL
Evidence-based training for women combining psychological readiness with practical self-defense skills.
VERBALIZation & Boundaries
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 real world self defense in a supportive environment, while building the confidence and capability to protect yourself.
Awareness & THreat Recognition
Learn to identify risk early and understand how your body responds under stress.
We break down situational awareness, threat cues, and the autonomic response so you can recognize danger before it escalates.
PHYSICAL SELF DEFENSE ROOTED IN KRAV MAGA, NO GI JIU JITSU & DEFENSIVE TACTICS
So much more than just martial arts. The TISD™️ program combines practical self-defense with nervous-system tools.
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.
COURSE DETAILS
Most self-defense classes focus on techniques. Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ is concept based and focuses on how your nervous system functions under pressure.
Starting Wednesday, June 3rd., 2026. Each class is 1.5 hours long and progresses through the full Trauma Informed Self-Defense™️ framework. No single day drop-ins, this is designed as a full course.
In person classes will be held once a week, in a safe, private location (disclosed only for registered students) in Central Florida. To ensure the time will suit your schedule please call / text us at 407.430.1523. Class size is strictly limited.
This program blends psychological 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:
• Situational, environmental, and personal awareness
• Interrupt freeze and fawn patterns in real time
• Use your voice with authority—clear, firm, and legally protective
• Practice physical self defense skills that work for your size and stature
• Restore calm, practiced decision-making instead of reactive panic
• Post incident response
This is not fitness training or a sports based self defense class.
It is not therapy.
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.
Develop the capability your body is wired for

Meet the creator
Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ was developed by Renée Rose, a medicolegal consultant and forensic crime analyst with more than a decade of experience in threat management, victim advocacy, evidence-based self-defense education, currently pursuing doctoral studies in clinical-forensic psychology.
Her professional work sits at the intersection of psychology, physiology, and real-world safety. Through years of supporting legal teams, survivors, families, and private security organizations, she has seen how fear affects the body and how traditional self-defense often fails the very people who need it most. Rose specializes in understanding freeze, fawn, and shutdown responses, and in designing training that can be used by individuals who may not feel physically confident, emotionally ready, or comfortable in high-intensity environments.
Rose is a partner of Shaan Saar LLC Security Group, an intelligence-led security and threat-management organization. Drawing from this background, she redesigned self-defense through a clinical lens: simple mechanics that work under stress, paired with nervous-system tools that restore both clarity and choice.
Her approach is grounded, compassionate, and firmly rooted in evidence. She created the Trauma-Informed Self-Defense™ program for women who want practical skills without overwhelm, a system that strengthens calm control, reinforces boundaries, and teaches actionable strategies that hold up in real conditions.
Rose’s guiding belief is straightforward:
”You don’t need to relive the past to develop or regain the capability your brain is naturally wired for. You need a method that teaches your body to support you instead of reverting to old survival patterns.”
