Find the right training

Our training meets violence before, during and after an incident. Many women come to us to build skills before they ever need them. Others come after something has happened to rebuild confidence and a sense of control. The foundations are the same, but how we teach them depends on where you are.

“…gained so much valuable knowledge…“

The space is so calming and the reception ladies were super nice and helpful. Amanda was the most amazing teacher, she was very patient, kind and helpful and I gained so much valuable knowledge on boxing. I felt so included and comfortable during this class and can’t wait to come back.

“…taught me some practical skills that I hope I never have to use“

I was referred to Fierce Females when I sought out self defence classes after a traumatic event. I didn't know what to expect but from my first meeting I was put at ease. I could pick a session time that suited my work schedule which helped me commit to booking. I leant things about myself that I didnt even know i did when i feel uncomfortable. Amanda helped me to push myself out of my comfort zone and taught me some practical skills that I hope I never have to use. I was made to feel welcome, heard and safe (and the exercise helped too).

“…should be mandatory at schools“

Extremely empowering, educational and life changing! Much more than expected, especially for such a small investment. Amanda is absolutely awesome, instructing us with kindness, respect while teaching us bad ass defense moves! Most important, was learning how to respect ourselves, by using our brain, body and voice to protect ourselves! Recommend to all females of any age, should be mandatory at schools. Super grateful for all that Amanda and her Fierce Females are doing for our community 🙏🥰🤩
