We have a group of courses specifically designed for women. With the exception of L.A.C.E., these courses are designed to be taken in a specific order so that after taking them you are prepared to participate in our advanced firearms courses and Force on Force classes. 

Drawing from a holster

This is a 3 hour course where we share processes for proper and safe pistol presentation. We will discuss different types of holsters and how to draw from each of them. We will use our SIRT pistols and simulator to work on the drawing process. You will get several repetitions for each type of holster. Bring any and all holster you use or intend to use and we will give instruction for proper and safe presentation from them. We will record your draw times to show the difference in efficiency for each type of carry.

L.A.C.E. 3-hour workshop

The Womens' Defense Coalition, Delaware Tactical Academy and StandByMe Security are working together to ensure women's safety.  
For the first time ever, we are hosting an IKMA* Krav Maga  WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE workshop known as L.A.C.E. 
L.A.C.E.  stands for Ladies Awareness, Confidence & Empowerment – “A Girls Guide to Kicking Butt!”
 
Our specialized Women’s Self-Defense program – L.A.C.E. –  has been designed to prepare women both physically and mentally, to react and defend themselves if ever put in a real life-threatening situation. The training covers a wide variety of scenarios both inside and outside (vehicles, dark parking lot, etc.) of our training facility. The women who attend these seminars are taught the most effective, street-proven self-defense techniques such as releases from grabs, chokes and bear hugs, striking defenses, weapon disarming, and ground survival techniques. We place an emphasis on preparing women to be able to defend themselves under stress – eliminating the “shutting down and freezing” reaction.
 
Training will provide you with the tools to fend off a would-be attacker, while feeling safe, secure, and empowered in your everyday life. Krav Maga relies on one’s natural instincts & reflexes and is an easy-to-learn self-defense system for women of all ages, sizes, and physical abilities.
