I can’t tell you how profound that experience was… what Andre did for us was shift a mindset for me just by teaching us basic moves it made me really understand that I’m not a victim, no matter what happens I can actually engage with whatever is happening and I can fight back. She really showed us how. It was amazing! It just changed my mind completely and I’ll never forget that experience.

Andre's women's self defence class was highly educational but also really fun. The two hour class flew by... Highly recommend trying out one of Andre's classes if you want to feel better equipped to defend yourself in a range of potentially dangerous situations. Thanks Andre!
