"I would like to highly recommend Angie Abad's self-defense class for ladies. I recently brought my Girl Scout troop to one of her classes and it was life changing in the most positive way. As a mother and a leader, our reality is that sexual assaults happen, and it is our job to educate our children on how to protect themselves. Angie is an inspiration, she connected with each student and listened to them. She encouraged them to be authentic while creating a safe space. Every one of my scouts left their feeling empowered and confident. We cannot wait to return for a refresher course, because what Angie has created is far beyond a normal self-defense class. She has created an environment where it is safe to be yourself, encouraged to be open, and accepting of all."

-Deb, California. Girl Scout Leader

"Angie is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her self defense class for every girl and woman! The class was fun, engaging, empowering and, at times, emotional. Angie taught the girls hands-on self defense techniques and spent time to discuss a variety of tough topics including bullying, harassment, abuse and setting boundaries. Her compassionate, caring and brutally-honest way captured the girls attention and made the class an unforgettable experience. She always found just the right balance to be age-appropriate, while getting her points across. So thankful my daughter was able to participate!"
