DEFENSE IS FREEDOM


Women’s Tactical Empowerment Collective - A Real-World Self-Defense Training Initiative. Because women deserve more than watered-down self-defense. This is raw, real, and necessary. We train for the world as it is, not as we wish it were.

 


What We Do

TAC|SHE is not a martial arts class. It’s a fight lab. A combat gym. A mindset shift.  We train women to fight back, fight smart, and survive real-world violence with confidence and skill.

 


  The TACSHE Mission

We exist to equip women with unapologetically practical training in self-defense, tactical awareness, and lifesaving response - building confidence, resilience, and community.

 

Core Training

  • Self-Defense Foundations: Awareness, boundary setting, striking, escapes
  • Close Quarters Combat: Grabs, chokes, ground defense, aggression conditioning
  • Firearms & Concealed Carry: Holster draw, safety, legal considerations, optional live fire
  • Defense Against Weapons: Knife defense, blunt force threats, gun grabs and disarms
  • Tactical Movement: Room clearing, use of cover, home defense layouts
  • Scenario Drills & Sparring: Parking lot, hallway, and domestic scene simulations
