Hello and Welcome to our FighterFit & Self-Defense page. The above questions do concern your safety, self-confidence, and your ability to stand your ground. There are answers.

If you ask yourself, "Do I have the confidence to stand up for myself?”—did you at all hesitate before answering?

If a confrontation becomes physical, do you feel you have the confidence to speak up, and do you know that you have the goods to back it up? If not, we are here to help people just like you.

The physical process of getting stronger, understanding how to physically control another person (and possibly knock them out) will give you confidence like nothing else can. Knowing how to physically take care of your safety needs will extend into other parts of your life like nothing else. You will be able to walk taller. You will feel absolutely stronger in your mental capacities to handle situations in everyday life. You’ll be able to speak up when you know something is wrong. You’ll be able to command respect of others. You will basically unleash the Unstoppable Warrior Within by Cultivating Your #BadassCourage.

If this sounds like something that would benefit your life, we have two options to help you. Our 2-hour Community Self-Defense Workshop is a two-hour introduction designed to give you immediately usable options and skills. For more in-depth training, you can easily follow this up with our Weekend Workshop.

You may also opt for the FighterFit Program and get started on a lifetime of change. You will learn about both of these programs more in-depth before you make your decision.

FAQs

Do you want to be able to confront people who are bullying you? If someone accosts you on the street while you are walking, minding your own business, would you know what to do? Do you understand the different levels of confrontations? If you are very suddenly, physically attacked, would you know what to do?

These situations can be very frightening if you have no idea what to do, and you are suddenly in in the middle of one of these. There is a solution.

Is there someone at work who bullies you constantly, or even just from time to time? Does your boss support you? Can you speak up when something is not right at work? Do you have the strength to ask for a raise?

You want your work environment to feel safe. If it is hostile, getting your work done can prove to be challenging. If there are abusive people around you, you’ll be in a constant state of stress and unease. Learn how to effectively neutralize these situations.

Or do they ignore you, sometimes even snickering or giggling? If you have to speak in front of groups, do you have the confidence to command their attention? Do you have their respect? It can feel very demeaning when people do not pay attention to what you have to say. Or they just brush you off as insignificant.

Learn how to command respect and get people to act on your behalf.

Can you speak up to professors, doctors, presidents, heads of whatever? If people in “authority” positions feel intimidating to you, you can change this. You can learn to be strong in their presence and be able to speak your mind.

Do you understand what it takes to fix what is broken? Do you understand how to communicate what you feel without blaming the other person? Do you know when you need to end a relationship? Do you have the confidence to create a new relationship (with someone you already know, or someone you don't know)? Do you know how to even begin the process? You can gain the confidence to make your own choices!
