Day One and Two Only | Newberry FL | Pickett Weaponry | Women’s Self Defense Training

Firearm and Hand to Hand Self-Defense Training Weekend with John Gardner

Self-defense training programs empower participants with essential skills to protect themselves, build confidence, and promote personal safety. These programs focus on teaching practical techniques and strategies that can be applied in real-life situations. Participants learn not only physical defense moves but also how to stay alert, make quick decisions, and avoid dangerous situations whenever possible.

Ultimately, these classes foster empowerment, confidence, and situational awareness, helping women feel safer and more in control of their surroundings.
