Empowering Women Through Self-Defense
At Diamond Defense, we're dedicated to providing women and girls in the Northern California region with access to transformative self defense training. Our program, rooted in the R.A.D. Systems of Self-Defense and influenced by Hapkido, is designed to help you tap into your innate strengths and develop effective self-defense skills, regardless of your age or physical ability.

At Diamond Defense, we believe that self-defense training is not just about physical techniques, but also about mental and emotional awareness. We teach our students to be mindful, confident, and aware so that they're able to avoid becoming targeted in the first place.
