About

You have the power to energize CMU’s Women’s Self Defense Club today! 

In a society where danger may lurk at any corner, we strive to empower all individuals — with a particular focus on women — to build the confidence and physical defense techniques to protect themselves in any situation. Through workshops and training sessions on hand-to- and combat, weapon awareness and the art of de-escalation, we hope to instill alertness and resilience in individuals so they are more prepared to navigate potentially dangerous or life-threatening encounters. To offer a comprehensive and engaging experience to our club members, we seek to expand available funds to invite professional self-defense instructors, increase training equipment and host special events to spread the mission of bolstering the safety and security of all individuals.

Giving CMU Day is your chance to illuminate the next bright idea in CMU's Women's Self Defense Club! 💡
