AURORA, Colo. - June 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Moxie Defense introduces “Self-defense: Redefined” which emphasizes physical empowerment to help protect and bolster self-confidence in women. We build self-esteem in females and give women the physical and mental tools needed to protect themselves from the dangers we face today.

     A women is raped every 46 seconds in America.

     More than 160,000 U.S. students stay home from school each day from fear       of being bullied.

It is the mission of Moxie Defense to empower women of all ages with the training and tools imperative to their personal safety and the safety of their families. Through fun, instinctive learning women gain the knowledge to protect and arm themselves with high self-esteem while gaining confidence and an attitude of fearlessness!

Our courses include Basic Situational Self-Defense, Personal & Street Safety, Boundary Setting & Assertiveness, Rape Awareness & Resistance, Dealing with Bully’s & Cyberbullys and Body Confidence. Fitness ability is no issue, this is self-defense for the everyday women!  All of our classes can be customized for your group based on size, needs and age.

Courses for women ages 18 and up will be provided with mature content and physical activity in a curriculum delivery model that is appropriate and receptive.  A sample representation of this group would be college students, business professionals, single moms, women organizations, etc.

A separate group, girls ages 12 thru 17, have many different needs such as the growing concerns of safety online and dating violence.  Moxie Defense offers course content to educate these young ladies on social media etiquette and the warning signs of dating violence as well as basic situational self-defense.

Lastly, our Miss Moxie program targets younger girls as young as 7 years of age.  They learn how to identify and control “stranger danger” situations and encourage them not to fall victim to bullying.

Moxie Defense was founded by Jennifer Dorris, a working mom of three young teenagers who could not find a self-defense class that taught her the basics to feel confident and secure in the small amount of free time she had available and no classes for teenagers that focused on the issues they were bringing home each day from school.  “I cannot be with my children every minute of the day.  I need them to know how to protect themselves in any situation, not just physical confrontations but mental ones as well. The life of a teenager can be tough.”  So she took it into her own hands and became a certified trainer through Divas in Defense in Atlanta, Georgia and launched Moxie Defense.

Moxie Defense believes self-esteem is the core to how we act and react, make decisions and chose our road through life.
