Empower Together: Private Women's Self-Defense Workshops at RI Kenpo Karate Academy

Personalized, Private Training Designed for You and Your Group

Empowerment begins with awareness, confidence, and the ability to protect oneself. At RI Kenpo Karate Academy, we believe that every woman deserves to feel safe, prepared, and confident in any situation.

To provide the most supportive, comfortable, and focused environment possible, our Women’s Self-Defense classes are now offered exclusively by appointment. Whether you want to book a private session just for yourself or gather a group of friends, family members, or coworkers, we tailor each workshop to fit your specific schedule and goals.

Why Choose a Private Group Session?

  • A Comfortable Environment: Learn alongside people you already know and trust, eliminating the intimidation factor of a public class.

  • Completely Flexible Scheduling: We work around your calendar to find a date and time that fits your busy life.

  • Tailored Instruction: Sessions are customized to address the specific concerns, environments, and goals of your group.

  • Exclusive Focus: Enjoy 100% dedicated attention from our expert instructors without distractions.

What Your Session Covers

Our comprehensive workshops go beyond physical techniques to take a holistic approach to personal safety. Depending on your group's focus, sessions can cover:

  • Situational Awareness: Recognizing potential threats before they happen.

  • Boundaries & Assertiveness: Verbal de-escalation and setting firm physical and social limits.

  • Practical Physical Techniques: Effective, easy-to-remember escapes and strikes designed to work under stress.

  • Realistic Scenarios: Hands-on practice tailored to real-world environments (traveling, parking lots, campus life, etc.).

Special Group Rates

Training is better—and more affordable—together! We offer tiered group pricing so you can bring your circle along:

  • One-on-One Private Sessions: Focused, personalized instruction tailored entirely to your pace.

  • Small Group Rates (3–6 participants): Perfect for friends, mother-daughter pairs, or small teams looking to train together at a special discounted rate per person.

  • Private Parties & Organizations (7+ participants): Ideal for bachelorette parties, sports teams, book clubs, or workplace wellness events.

(A portion of net proceeds from our self-defense workshops proudly supports the Women’s Resource Center in Newport, RI.)
