Women's Self-Defense in Santa Cruz

Women’s Self-Defense in Santa Cruz is your path to feeling stronger, safer, and more in control. This empowering program helps you speak your mind, defend yourself, and build total confidence — all while getting fit and having fun.

Stand tall. Make bold choices. Speak your mind. Defend yourself. Honor your body. Get strong — and feel fantastic doing it. So, why not feel a bit #badass too? After all, it’s not just about strength; it’s about power, confidence, and self-worth. Ultimately, it’s about showing up for yourself. More importantly, it’s about choosing to rise.

Women’s self-defense in Santa Cruz is for women ready to drive their own bus through our FighterFit program. If you’re done putting others first, then it’s time to take control. Instead of waiting, steer your life in a new direction. Meanwhile, we’re right beside you — offering tools, clarity, and support. In other words, you lead, we guide. That way, you stay in control from day one. By doing so, you reclaim your power.

We’re all born with the instinct to fight. In fact, we cry as babies to get what we need. However, that instinct gets silenced. At first, we’re told not to cry; next, we’re taught to give our power away. As a result, we forget how to stand up for ourselves. Once again, wrong, wrong, wrong. Therefore, it’s time to flip the script. From now on, you write your own story. With that in mind, we’re here to back you up.

If you’re ready to reclaim your strength, this is your moment. Consequently, you’ll rediscover what it means to feel fierce and free. Now, get on your bus — and let’s go.

Some Things to Think About...

FighterFit Fempowerment in Santa Cruz - For Real Life...#fight4YOURlife

Women’s Self-Defense in Santa Cruz has evolved. FighterFit Fempowerment is about helping you to find your internal #badass. You will feel more powerful, more in control, more in charge, and able to make your own decisions, because longer-term training is what makes new muscle memory.
Feel great and strong in your body, feel fantastic about your body, and feel great when you stand your ground. This is cultivating #badasscourage. Our FighterFit Fempowerment Program will provide new skills and strategies to help you get out of a possible confrontation before it even begins.
Learn how to be safe, and how to become a leader of your own life. Yes, you can benefit from Power-Training for Life™. When you fight for your life, your life will fight for you.

Have you ever been in one or more confrontational situations and not known what to do; or if you did, were too afraid to do anything?

Have you ever wished you had the right words at just the right time — only to think of them after the moment had passed? That kind of regret can leave you feeling powerless.

Imagine being able to raise your confidence and finally stand up for yourself. Consider how your life could shift if you made choices that genuinely supported your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Even more importantly, what if learning to command your body to move powerfully — to protect yourself — was actually simple?

If any of this resonates with you, keep reading. This may be your path to the most powerful change you’ve ever made.

As a result, you can feel strong and safe by raising your confidence

Through our women’s self-defense workshops and our  FighterFit Fempowerment Program, you’ll be able to speak your mind, and take the lead in situations where someone is trying to overpower your words, thoughts and actions.

If you present an idea at work, and a co-worker immediately attempts to make you wrong, how do you turn it around?

What if someone at work, whom you’re not romantically interested in, continues to ask you out. Do you keep making excuses? How do you stop her/him from continually asking you, while still maintaining a working relationship?

What about something as simple as someone cutting in front of you while you’re waiting in a long line. Are you able to speak up? Can you be assertive?

In turn, self-confidence will allow you to speak from a powerful position

Yes, you can do this — without resorting to bullying tactics. It’s possible to express what you feel with a strong sense of confidence. Even when someone doesn’t agree with you, they’ll respect your presence. As a result, you’ll be better equipped to find the right words or take the right action, helping you feel strong, powerful, and in control of the situation.

Now, think about what power-confidence would look like for you

Are you ready to ask for that promotion, or finally land the right job for you?

Could you deliver that awesome presentation that just might earn you a bonus?

More importantly, do you command the attention and respect of your peers?

If you’re leading a meeting, are you truly “boardroom ready?”

Will your presence earn you respect from everyone in the room?

And when it comes to life’s hardest moments, can you tell your significant other you’ve made the decision to divorce? (That’s a tough one, believe me.)

Because of that, you CAN stop others from controlling and bullying you

Do you ever feel like others are constantly taking control, commanding you, pressuring you to do things their way, or bullying you into making decisions you don’t even want to make?

If so, wouldn’t it make sense to learn how to solve these kinds of problems?

That’s why Women’s Self-Defense Training at MINORSAN is different. Control freaks only win if you hand them the power — and with our training, you’ll learn how to stop doing that.

So, begin the journey of doing something about it now

Learn how to deal with difficult people and emerge with a win-win outcome. In addition, be able to de-escalate tough situations when they arise.

You’ll also explore solutions that help you make the best choices for your life.

Strong communication skills are part of the process, and they’re valuable in every relationship, from family and friends to coworkers and acquaintances.

To prepare, understand how to negotiate in challenging situations

We all deal with challenging situations, such as asking for that long-needed raise or maneuvering your way through (usually) challenging divorce proceedings; or making the presentation that will guarantee you the new position, negotiating with contractors for your new remodel, or even dealing with a life-threatening situation on the street. Life skills power-training is developed in affirming ways through the women’s self-defense Program.

Likewise, overcome self-imposed perceptions

Overcome your long-held habits about how you see yourself (level of self-esteem), what you are able to accomplish (self-confidence), incorrect perceptions you have in your mind (habitual thinking), or your feelings about being physically weak and vulnerable. The training will give you the skills to feel the strength and power in all areas of your life.

Importantly, your body’s capabilities are respected

Everyone has a learning style. The material is structured to provide ease of learning. We provide modern street self-defense training customized for how your body moves best. You won’t be forced to make your body move in ways that might hurt you. You might be challenged, but your physical needs will be respected, and you’ll learn how to stay as safe as possible.

Since this is not military-type training, you’ll be learning what really works for you in a user-friendly environment. You are learning at your own pace based on what you can do and how you absorb information.

Meanwhile, get into healthy physical condition

Heavy-bag work is a key part of the women’s self-defense FighterFit Fempowerment training. It’s one of the program’s “power cornerstones.”

As you work with heavy bags, focus mitts, and kicking shields, you’ll build strength, endurance, and stamina.

This boost in performance will help your confidence soar. Soon, you’ll feel better about how your body moves and functions — with greater ease, flexibility, and strength.

And yes, your energy levels will increase too.

Feeling physically strong leads to so much more. You’ll become more comfortable meeting new people, speaking in front of others, or even just walking down the street.

Wouldn’t it be great to feel confident going to the beach, knowing you’re safe and feel great in your body?

Picture yourself going out to a nightclub, asking someone to dance, or striking up a conversation with someone new.

You’ve got this — and I know it will feel amazing.

Why is this training philosophy different?

A hard-core attitude is for those who need to prove something to the world. Although we adhere to the ancient philosophical teachings derived from our martial arts philosophy (respect, honesty, compassion, acceptance, integrity, etc), our leading-edge perspective in self-defense training for our current times and modern world enables you to learn according to your needs and at your pace, with powerful results.

This means you can ask questions and you aren’t going to be “punished,” belittled, or humiliated. We won’t ask you to “drop and give me 20” as a way of doling out consequences. Instead you’ll be assisted in reaching those 20 pushups from a perspective of gaining strength and confidence in your abilities to achieve anything that you put your mind to! We’ll support you in getting to that full burpee, or 20 jumping jacks, or whatever is challenging you.

My Staff and I are not about making you wrong (thus, making us look right).

MINORSAN is about making you feel confident in your body’s abilities. It’s up to you to do the work.

My Staff and I work with you in positive ways so that you can stop adverse thought patterns and create new, stronger pathwys from your body to your mind.

Your current condition is respected: physical, emotional and mental. Lessons will be customized to fit your body’s response in order for you to achieve your desired results.

Since this is not militaristic-type training, you’ll learn how to deal with any challenges thru repetitive movement and reinforcement.

If any of this rings true for you, then how much is it worth?

How much is it worth to you to receive professional training with qualified instructors who will help you make life-long, lasting changes for a strong and powerful body, mind and spirit? How much will it cost you to not get this training?
