A New Way Forward

For those who have been here before and think things look a little different—you’re right!

As Diamond Defense has evolved, one thing has become increasingly clear: self-defense training should never be one-size-fits-all. Every student comes to us with different experiences, goals, and reasons for being here—and their training should reflect that.

That’s why we’re shifting our Train portion to a bespoke model, with private, personalized instruction designed around the specific needs and goals of each student or group. Whether that means physical defense, boundary-setting, non-lethal weapons, or a combination of skills, we’ll build the training around you.

At the same time, we didn’t want to lose the connection and energy that come from learning in community. So everyone begins with Prepare, our 90-minute public class focused on awareness, instincts, and ways to reduce our everyday risk of being targeted for attack.

And learning doesn’t end when your private training does. Through our Maintain classes, you can continue building confidence, sharpening your skills, and staying ready with ongoing public or private practice sessions.

We’re so excited about this new way forward and what it allows us to offer our students: the benefits of learning together, the value of truly personalized training, and the opportunity to keep those skills strong over time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

WELCOME TO THE Diamond Defense SYSTEM

Step One

Every Diamond Defense journey begins with Prepare. This required awareness-based class gives you a practical foundation in recognizing threats, trusting your instincts, and reducing your risk for being targeted for attack.

Public Classes (1.5 hrs): $35/student

Advanced registration required, no walk-ins

September Class Dates & Registration

October Class Dates & Registration

If interested in booking a private class that includes Prepare, please contact us here.

Step Two

Because every woman is different, her training should be too. We offer private, personalized instruction designed around your—or your group’s—needs and goals.

Once you've completed Prepare, we offer a complimentary Discovery Session of up to 30 minutes, where we’ll discuss what you want to learn and create a training plan that may include boundary setting or specialized awareness training, physical defense, and non-lethal weapons training.

After that, you'll receive a calendar link to allow you to schedule your training when it's convenient for you.

Our focus here is not simply on teaching the techniques, it is on ensuring each student achieves proficiency with the techniques before moving into Maintain.

Rates: $50/hr. for the first student + $25/hr. for each additional student

Maximum of 6 participants per session

Step Three

Self-defense skills are most effective when they’re practiced regularly. Building your muscle memory helps ensure that your skills will be there for you when you need them. Any Diamond student who has completed their physical defense training can continue building confidence, sharpening their skills, and staying ready through these public practice sessions.

Public Classes (1 hr.): $25/student

Advanced registration required, no walk-ins
