Shoshindo Of Alaska

"Lauren is an engaging, knowledgeable, and professional instructor, and her classes are fun, down-to-earth, practical, and memorable. I feel more well-equipped to protect myself if the situation arises, thanks to her self-defense classes. She is also skilled at delivering engaging instruction for all ages, kids and adults alike. Highly recommend!"

"I have attended three Women's Self Defense Events at Shoshindo of Alaska,. The instructors are patient, showing a skill multiple times from different angles so I could see what was happening and patiently explained and helped me correct my movements. This is a great learning platform for women of all ages for self protection."

"Lauren is a wonderful teacher. She is patient and passionate about her craft. I was amazed at what I learned in just 1 session. Self defense is very important especially for a woman in today’s world. I highly recommend her class."

"As a woman and a business owner I can't recommend Shoshindo of Alaska enough. I love what Lauren is doing for the community for all ages/genders/abilities. She provides a wealth of knowledge to her students, gives them a safe place to learn and grow, and leaves them walking away feeling empowered and confident. If you haven't taken the time to meet her or take a class do yourself a favor and go, you will not regret it!"

"Lauren is amazing!!! The classes we went to were informative and practical. It was apparent immediately that she genuinely cares about her students and wants them to be as prepared as possible if someone wants to do them physical harm. I could not recommend this school more to anyone who's remotely interested in and/or has a need for self-defense."
