Women Against Crime

"My middle school daughter and I did a private class with Trish in our home and loved it. She really talked to us and taught us things that we can put into action daily. She helped my daughter be more confident in being able to say no and how to defend herself if she needs to. I would highly recommend this program to any woman of any age."

"With her long tenure with APD, Trish is what I would call an expert on this subject, so I trusted everything she told me. She takes it seriously but also has fun with it. This class is extremely valuable, and every women should invest a couple hours of their time to participate in a class like this. It makes you think in a different way, and you feel empowered leaving the class. I am going to send my daughter and her newly graduated nurse friends to this class because they definitely need this!!"

"This was an amazing class on a topic everyone needs to take seriously: personal safety. Trish Hoffman's classes may be geared toward women, but the information, tips, & self-defense methods she teaches are useful for anyone who finds themselves in a dangerous situation. And I liked that Trish also gave us practical advice on how to minimize finding ourselves in danger in the first place! The class included a hands-on period in self-defence where Trish not only demonstrated how to walk-the-walk to fight off an attacker, she also brought padded equipment so class members could practice the techniques on each other. I know everyone left the class feeling safer and more empowered to handle a bad situation."

"Trish is a very engaging instructor. I have had the opportunity to take her class twice and each time I have come away with something important. I highly recommend that all women take her class to learn about situational awareness and specific self defense skills. Her passion for educating women in protecting themselves is very apparent!"
