At Master Pattillo Martial Arts, we believe that confidence is one of the most powerful tools a person can have—and for women, that confidence often starts with knowing how to protect yourself.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our upcoming Women’s Self-Defense Class, designed specifically to give women practical skills, awareness, and peace of mind in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Why This Class Matters
Personal safety isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation.
Our Women’s Self-Defense Class focuses on:
- Awareness and prevention (how to recognize and avoid dangerous situations)
- Simple, effective techniques that work under stress
- Escapes from common grabs and holds
- Building confidence and assertiveness
You don’t need any prior experience. Everything we teach is designed to be practical, realistic, and easy to learn—no complicated moves or athletic background required.
Supporting a Meaningful Cause
This class is about more than just learning self-defense—it’s also about supporting women in our community who need help the most.
Proceeds will go to Peace Place, a local nonprofit serving Barrow County.
Peace Place provides:
- Safe shelter for victims of domestic violence
- Counseling and advocacy services
- Legal assistance and crisis support
- Education and outreach programs
Their work is vital, and by participating in this class, you’re helping them continue to make a real difference in the lives of women and families right here in our community.
What to Expect
This is not a typical martial arts class. It’s:
- Beginner-friendly
- Hands-on but safe
- Encouraging and supportive
- Focused on real-world situations
You’ll leave with:
- Practical skills you can use immediately
- A better understanding of personal safety
- Increased confidence in your ability to handle difficult situations
Who Should Attend?
This class is perfect for:
- Women of all ages (teens and adults)
- Moms who want to feel more confident and prepared
- Friends looking to do something meaningful together
- Anyone interested in learning real-world self-defense
Bring a Friend
Everything is better with a friend—and self-defense is no exception.
Bring someone with you, encourage each other, and learn together in a positive environment.
Reserve Your Spot
Spots are limited so we can keep the class personal and effective.
Final Thought
You hope you never need to use these skills—but if you do, you’ll be glad you took the time to learn them.
And in the process, you’ll be helping support an organization doing incredible work in Barrow County.
We’d love to see you there.
