Women’s Self-Defense Class

Practical Knowledge and Skill Training

Every woman should know how to defend herself.

You never know when you’ll find yourself in an unsafe situation; if you do, your ability to safely protect yourself and get away from that moment could make the difference between life and harm or even death.

We’re committed to teaching women of all ages how to defend themselves if the situation ever arises.

Why is this self-defense course beneficial?

If any situation were to happen, you will be completely ready to defend yourself! In general, it is important to know a few ways to protect yourself.
You will feel more in control of various harmful situations
With this knowledge in mind (taught by many professionals in the Raleigh, North Carolina area), you will feel safe and will know what to do and not do in those dangerous situations even before they occur.
If you have children, it is another way to protect them and their well-being as well from anything occurring in that current time or the future.
And It is a way to feel strong, confident, and empowered!

What will be learned in the class?

We will teach you:

Usable and practical skills to ward off an attacker
Situational awareness
How to Identify Red flags and what to do when you see them
Survival tools of self-preservation, Environmental Safety, Victim Avoidance, Predator Strategies

Understanding these tools are great stepping stones of learning self-defense. Seeing red flags in your current environment for example will give you the upper hand. And with the added self-defense, we want you to feel you can take on any situation!

This place is great! Charles and his team have fantastic programs for kids. When we started our 3.5 year old son, I didn’t know what to expect. He quickly adapted to the classes and now loves going. Our 2 year old son loves watching and will start as well as soon as he turns 3. Innovative Martial arts also hosted their birthday parties. The kids had a blast doing different activities throughout the birthday party. Can’t say enough good things about this place, and what they teach!

Innovative Martial Arts Academy (IMAA) is the best place to take martial arts. Charles Falk, the owner, and his staff do a great job teaching martial arts to the students and teaching each student to be confident and disciplined. My son has been with IMAA for eight years - he has earned one black belt and is working on his second.

Not only are the staff amazing, but there is a mix of fun and learning in the curriculum. My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves this school. She has learned respect and many other aspects making her more focused and well behaved. I definitely recommend this school for you or your child.

Great school with wonderful teachers. My daughter has a great time learning and everyone is friendly. There is even an adult class that allowed me to try to see if I liked it and everyone was very patient with me. I am thankful to have my daughter be a part of the Innovative Martial Arts Academy in Wake Forest and know she is benefiting from it in more than one way. It amazes me how fast she is learning and how hard she is trying. They have her trying to develop at her fullest with her mind, body, and spirit. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in martial arts.

Wonderful place for not only skill development but also personal development. Owner and instructors genuinely get to know students and families and care about them. The lessons learned will provide character growth as well as martial art skills. The owner is also a long time student of many different martial arts, he didn't just buy a franchise, and tries very hard to live what he teaches the students. Proud to have been in this dojo family for 6+ years and proud of the friendships we have made there!
