“What a wonderful and necessary course for all young women and men transitioning into independent adulthood. DFWM Self Defense is a choreographed and easy to remember sequence of self-defense movement phrases. The content is presented in a well-organized manor that is easy to retain and quick to embody. Dr Teri Jory is a force. She has the energy and enthusiasm to keep the class fully engaged from beginning to end. Her passion and personality kept the class focused on important issues while keeping the atmosphere comfortable and accepting. The students left feeling empowered and energized. As an educator of young adults, I would highly recommend adding this course into any curriculum. It is lifesaving knowledge and invaluable material.”
