Never again. Never again would she be weak. Never again would she be at someone's mercy. Never again would she fail. Never again, never again, never again.

-- Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Silver Flames

Why Valkyrie Self Defense?

Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. More than 1 in 3 women in the US have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. The numbers can’t be ignored. The reality is grim.

At Valkyrie Self Defense, we’re passionate about teaching women and girls how to defend themselves and build confidence and strength in a world that isn’t built to keep us safe.
