Here are three fantastic female self defence instructors, all of whom are excellent when it comes to self defense for women.

Unfortunately, I have never attended one of Adori's self defence sessions - but I hope to one day! Adori has been recommended to me by many people who I trust. She used to teach under the business 'Fight Like A Girl' - how cool is that?

Catherine Schnell is an excellent self defence instructor and impressed many when she instructed 3 sessions for the Women’s Department in 2009, and so we had her come back once again for 3 sessions this year. She has a very practical, hands-on approach, with a focus on de-escalating situations and communicating clearly that you would not be a good target/avoiding dangerous situations when they arise. There is one more FREE self defence session for female identifying/socialised/bodied students enrolled at Monash Clayton, scheduled for 2pm on Tuesday, 27th of July.

The MSA Women's Department have had Amelia in to give one self defence session already in 2010, as have MUISS, and she was quite good! Don't miss the last MSA Women's Department FREE women's self defence session for 2010 with Amelia, scheduled for 1pm on Thursday, 12th of August! For more information, contact [e-mail]

Please feel free to let us know about any other great female women's self defence instructors!

I have to say, I have now attended several of Adori's classes and enrolled in her class, and she's as amazing as everyone says she is. She's tiny, but I've seen her topple men a foot or more taller and twice as broad. Not to mention, she has a great sense of humour and has a clear and clever method of self-defence for everyone, no matter their size.
