School-Based Self-Protection Workshops

Our School-Based Workshops, Courses and Presentations

Fierce Females is a registered charity and non for profit organisation with a primary focus on providing self-empowerment and defence training for women. We deliver trauma-informed, person-centred and hope-focused programs, workshops, and presentations for our local communities.

We have worked with many schools over the last 10 years, providing specially tailored programs to adequately prepare the next generation with the knowledge and skills to be safe in their personal and professional lives.

Our female coaches bring MMA (mixed martial arts) and psychology into the same classroom, offering a truly comprehensive self-protection solution. Students leave feeling capable and energised.

We have a range of educational material available for schools and their students, offering them in a variety of customisable options:

Empowering Children & Young Women Through Self-Protection

Our school-based programs recognise that self-protection education for children and young women goes beyond the realm of just physical techniques; it encompasses emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and empowerment. Our programs take into consideration:

1. Empowerment and Confidence: as students learn valuable skills and techniques through our tailored programs, all of our FIERCE elements come together to empower students through an enhanced sense of self and belief in our fundamental human rights. Students gain the confidence to act in unsafe situations for themselves and for others, and have the courage to stand up for their own beliefs safely.

2. Personal Safety Skills: equipping students with personal safety skills ensures that they are better prepared to understand the risks of and respond effectively in situations that might compromise their well-being. These skills range from knowing how to set boundaries to recognising potential danger signs and responding appropriately.

3. Emotional Intelligence and Decision-Making: learning how to assess situations, make quick judgments, and respond in ways that prioritize everyone’s safety. By building on courage, fearlessness and ethics, students learn to make better judgments even with fear present.

4. Fostering a Culture of Respect and Boundaries: teaching children how to assertively communicate the beliefs and boundaries of themselves and others, the program contributes to a culture of respect, empathy, and understanding.

5. Lifelong Skills: the skills acquired through our school-based programs are not only relevant during childhood but also remain valuable throughout life. The program lays the foundation for a lifetime of personal safety, effective communication, and confident decision-making.
