WHY LEARN SELF-DEFENCE
Every woman deserves to feel safe
Every woman deserves to move through life with confidence and without fear. Unfortunately, real threats exist—and too often, women are left unprepared. That’s why our program goes beyond “basic moves.” We teach prevention, awareness, mindset, and practical strategies that give you real options in dangerous situations.
At TalonPoint, you’re not just attending a class—you’re joining a supportive community that takes your safety, confidence, and peace of mind seriously.

Readiness – Awareness, skills and strategy that help you feel safer in everyday life.
Peace of Mind – Walk taller, feel stronger, and know you can handle yourself.

What we teach
Our Women’s Self-Defense curriculum (IKMF Stay Away™) goes beyond basic moves—it’s designed to prepare you for real-life risks. Topics include: - Awareness & Prevention – Spot pre-attack indicators, understand intuition and make safer lifestyle choices. - Boundary Setting & De-Escalation – Learn how to use your voice and presence to deter threats. - Physical Defense Skills – Strikes, releases, and defenses designed for women against larger, stronger attackers, for the most common types of attacks women face (see our FAQ below for a list of attacks) - Stress Training – Practice techniques under pressure so they become instinct. - Everyday Scenarios – Defending in common situations (street harassment, grabs, chokes, being followed).
