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 we've designed our training model to reflect that reality.
It starts with our public Prepare course.
Because 90% of self-defense happens before a confrontation ever occurs.
Next step is the Train module.
This is private, bespoke 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.
Maintain is the last and lifelong step.
Through our Maintain classes, you can continue building confidence, sharpening your skills, and staying ready with ongoing public or private practice sessions.
See below for class dates & registration links.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

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
October Class Dates & Registration
November Class Dates & Registration

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

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.

Diamond Defense is able to provide on-site training as well. Whether you have a large group, or would just prefer to learn in the comfort of your own location, we bring all of the empowerment to you!
The provided location must be a private space, and large enough for everyone to stand arm's length apart from each other.
