Personal Safety and Self Defense
1.2 million violent crimes were committed in the United States in 2024, and statistics show that previous violent offenders, if released, are 63.8% likely to be repeat offenders. These statistics shine a glaring light on the need for:
• Personal safety training - teaches how to recognize & prevent, avoid, de-escalate, and/or exit from existing or potentially violent situations through mental, emotional, environmental, and physical
awareness.
• Physical self-defense skill training - includes learning, practicing, and improving the physical skills necessary for all possible combative situations.
While neither can guarantee a positive outcome in a dangerous situation, both can increase your chances of survival by enhancing your decision making ability and improving your physical skill set before and/or during a confrontation.
Lisa has been a personal trainer, certified and an alumni member of World Instructor Training School since 2010-known industry as WITS. It is one of the few organizations that requires all hands-on, in person testing for certification in addition to written exams, resulting in fully competent and skilled trainers. With Personal Safety and Physical Defense Skill Training a art priority area for the foundation, this has led to a recent collaboration with Jay Delvechio, President CEO of WITS and Tim Rochford, Founder and creator of EMPOWERUSA, Inc (who is also a WITS Alumni) in an effort to improve individual community and safety and fitness. With WITS having a national blueprint, it is our hope to positively impact individuals and communities throughout the US.
