A reason to start.
A reason to stay.
Women's Self Defense at KMI is built for every woman, and designed to keep her here.
Each month rotates through three training focuses: ground game fundamentals, combatives technique, and situational training centered on real-world attack scenarios. You'll develop the awareness, instinctive responses, and decision-making skills to act before a situation escalates, and the physical tools to handle it if it does.
No experience necessary. No uniform required. No ceiling on how far this class takes you. The class runs Wednesdays at 6 PM in TriBeCa. Plenty of members train here exclusively; plenty use it alongside the main classes. Both are normal.
When: Wednesdays, 6 PM, TriBeCa. Bring: mouth guard and groin guard. On the schedule as: "Women's Self Defense".
Three focuses, every month.
| Focus | How often | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Ground game | Once a month | BJJ-based control, positioning, and escapes from the ground |
| Combatives technique | Once a month | Striking, clinch, and combatives skills tied to the broader KMI curriculum |
| Situational training | Once a month | Scenario work on how threats develop and how to act before contact |
