Welcome to Spartanshield's Self Defense courses

This multifaceted 60 minute program is taught exclusively for women by experienced instructors in a positive and encouraging environment.  It is designed to fortify a woman’s natural protective instinct to protect herself and her loved ones, by mitigating a situation before it escalates into a more physical confrontation.  Specific situational awareness attributes and verbal judo are keys to prevention.  Deescalating the adrenaline reactions so that you don't become a victim is extremely important, but if it turns into a confrontation, we say: BRING IT ON...  We then teach very simple escape techniques with hands-on self-defense against the 10 most common attacks.  Once you have these defenses as a part of your habitual routine, advanced training then becomes possible.  Private classes in Columbia, TN are available, but we also offer on-site seminars for corporate/small businesses.  We strive to have you leaving this class feeling better equipped with new tools of situational awareness, the ability to calm the body so the mind becomes more aware, and the basic counter attacks and escape/evasion techniques available to the civilian.  Here, we can help you take the first step to your own personal defense.  And then if you are ready to take the next advancement, we have designed follow-up classes in our Basic Pistol Instruction course, and Advanced Pistol classes.  Whatever skill level you enter with us, you will see advancements, and it is our hope that you will gain the confidence to train your family, and bring your new habits to your loved ones around you.  The choice is yours.  Will you accept the challenge?!  Remember, you can be safe on your own terms.  Your safety is your responsibility!
