Introduction:
This course is designed for young women ages 10 through 18, as an integrated part of the school physical education program. It is a five or eight part holistic approach to developing confidence and awareness while creating and defending personal boundaries.

Specific Learning Outcomes:
Keeping a balanced Self: Developing mental, emotional and physical capability creates compassion, empathy, tolerance, self-awareness and confidence. We aim to build this in our students so they can experience the benefits of these attributes by building healthy relationships and staying safe.
Awareness through education and personal experience, prove that circumstances and events beyond our control can occur in our lives, how we respond to them is what shapes and defines us. These circumstances or “opportunities” can affect us positively, negatively or not at all. Throughout this course we use personal boundaries and responsibilities to explore that we are not powerless in our lives. Shifting “victim mentality” to Survive and Thrive.

Our goal is to leave students feeling confident, aware and empowered with basic skills to personally protect themselves mentally, emotionally and physically, within multiple contexts.
“Sensei Yvette came highly recommended to us to provide one-on-one self defence training to our 9 year old timid daughter. Our daughter’s small stature made her a target for bullying since pre-school. Yvette’s keen understanding of the importance of teaching people and especially young girls self-confidence and self-worth through awareness and disciplined self-defence training marked the beginning of what was and is the life changing event that brought happiness to our daughter. Whether it is one on one or group training, Sensei Yvette masterfully highlights individual improvements to students while introducing layers of skill to continually build on and strive to achieve results emotionally, physically and mentally. “
