defense training for adults

Set the pace

You have complete control over your defense training. We will work with you to help you achieve your goals, when and how you want to achieve them. 


  • How often do you want to train? 
  • How far do you want to advance in your training?
  • What techniques do you want to cover or not cover?


You might not know the answers to these questions, and that is absolutely ok!  You have the freedom to choose and change your mind, and we will always meet you where you are at.

How much does it cost?

Our classes are available to any survivor, regardless of their ability to pay. All you need to do is complete the intake (link provided down below - keep scrolling!)


If you are able to pay for your classes, the suggested price is $15/class or $65/month to attend class once per week.

Trauma-Informed

Defense training can be retraumatizing. When your brain is stressed, it is next to impossible to retain new information. Trauma-informed care means we understand how trauma can impact the brain. We adapt our training to meet your individual needs, allowing you to operate within your capacity and abilities, also known as your "window of tolerance."

Bring A Friend

 If you would feel more comfortable training alongside a familiar face, we would love to accommodate that! Your friend can come with you and they do not need to complete the intake. We'll just need them to sign a Release of Liability when they arrive.

Content Warning: Definitions of Interpersonal Violence and Consent

Cor Defense offers defense training for people who have experienced interpersonal violence. But what exactly do we mean by that?  


Interpersonal Violence Definition

Interpersonal violence refers to the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against another person or group that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation. 


This includes violence within families, intimate relationships, workplaces, schools, and faith communities, encompassing acts such as physical assault, sexual violence, harassment, emotional abuse, bullying, racism, sexism, stalking, intimidation, spiritual abuse, and neglect.


Consent is when an individual is freely able to make a choice based upon safety, respect, and equal power, and with the understanding that there is the freedom to change their mind at any point.

Questions to ask: 

  • Are both people old enough to consent? 
  • Do both people have the capacity to consent? (i.e. not intoxicated, unconscious, afraid, etc).
  • Is there an equal balance of power and control within the relationship? 
  • Is there mutual trust, respect, and boundaries between parties? 
  • Does each person feel safe to be an individual and have differing opinions?

What it's like to train with us

Backwards Breakfall

Learning a new skill can be overwhelming, but it doesn't *have* to be. We break down each technique and give you complete control over the pace at which you learn, so you never feel overwhelmed.


We also give you choices. Oftentimes, we ask the group to pick between 2 or 3 techniques they'd like to learn. Our class schedule is consistent, so you always know what to expect when you join us on your healing journey.


Video description: Instructor Lonnie teaching a practitioner the backwards breakfall from a squatting position. As they roll back, they slap the ground with their arms at a 45 degree angle. They each keep their left foot planted on the ground, while lifting their right leg to a fighting position. They also tuck their chin into their chest to prevent their head from hitting the ground.

Front Defensive Kick

One of the survivors who trains with us asked for a video of her doing a front defensive kick. She watches the video to remember her strength 💪 when she is feeling weak and vulnerable.  


This is what Cor Defense wants to offer all survivors of sexual violence: complete control over the techniques you learn, the pace at which you learn, and an opportunity to change the story. 


Video description: A slow-motion video of a woman with her hands up to her shoulders. A man approaches her with a large black kicking shield held to his chest. She lifts her front leg and makes contact with the kicking shield with the heel of her foot, leans forward and pushes him back, all while keeping her hands up. He stumbles back for a few moments while she brings her foot down and checks her surroundings.
