Iāve never had the opportunity to take a truly practical self-defense class beforeāespecially one that included real-world situations like carjacking awareness and home protection. This program goes far beyond theory. Itās realistic, hands-on, and taught by people with an incredible depth of experience. Heather Winkeljohn and her husband Mike Winkeljohn were absolutely fabulousāclear, supportive, and truly empowering. They taught essential street-level self-defense skills in a way that felt approachable and confidence-building. Greg Jackson then walked us through home-defense scenarios, including what to do in the rare but frightening event of a home invasion. I even learned the basics of how to clear a house with a firearm. Iāll be honestāIāve always been intimidated by guns and had never handled one before. This class helped me realize how important it is to be informed and familiar, even if you never plan to own one. That alone was incredibly eye-opening and empowering. What stood out most was the heart behind the instruction. This is a team genuinely committed to helping women feel safer, stronger, and more confidentāwithout ego or intimidation. Donāt hesitate because you think youāre ātoo oldā or inexperienced. This class truly is for women of all ages. Iām 65, and Iām so glad I took it. If youāre even considering itādo it. Youāll walk away more confident, more aware, and better prepared.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smartgirl Self Defense Classes are jam packed with useful information and skills instruction. Instructors are top notch, atmosphere is engaging and supportive. Iāve done several of their classes, including refreshers, and will keep coming back. The home defense in particular was both fun and informative.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg is an amazing instructor. will be looking into the one section of home protection. it was concise and "dad jokes" funny. This is a real course of self-protection.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up with a coworker through continuing education and this was an amazing class that all women should take! The instructors are phenomenal and use real life examples to demonstrate moves and teach skills necessary to defend yourself if bad situations arise. They made everyone feel welcome and included. There was a wide age range of women in the class and that showed how much span and reach the class is getting. Take it and see for yourself. You wonāt be disappointed and itās a great workout!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter is heading off to college in California and I am a home health nurse. Your class has taught both of us to be very aware of our surroundings and the people in our proximity. Knowledge is power. And learning some simple self-defense tips is knowledge. Your program is invaluable to all women in this increasingly unpredictable world. Thank you so much!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up for the 4 hour Smart Girl Self Defense class through UNM Continuing Ed. It was high energy and filled with lots of different techniques for many different kinds of situations. I was surprised at the age range of girls and women. I felt included and welcome and they accommodated my arthritis issues so I could participate. I highly recommend this class as the instructors were top notch!
