WELCOME! Haganah Security Internationals "Fight like a girl" self defense program for women is an organization preventing violence and promoting healing by teaching Amanuut Krav Maga women, a unique form of self-defense for mind, body and voice. We offer a variety of courses, each with the aim of making you more safe and secure. Our Women's Basics course is over 24 hours of comprehensive training with lots of practice, covering the emotional, mental and physical aspects of self-defense.
Since 1990, AKM women has given more than,5000 women and girls the skills to defend themselves against verbal, physical and sexual assault. AKM self-defense training is different from ordinary self-defense training in several different ways. First, we teach full-force self-defense. By training students to fight full-force in an adrenaline state, we engrain our techniques in 'muscle memory'. This means that the body will remember - and respond appropriately - even when the mind has forgotten. Second, we teach very practical techniques developed to counter the threats that women typically face. Our techniques utilize the strengths in women's bodies and can be learned by virtually any woman regardless of age or physical ability. And third, we understand the extremely emotional nature in confronting the fear of violence, especially for women. Our classes are taught in an extremely supportive environment, and we help our students develop their inner strength and work through their fears, as well as honing their physical abilities. AKM women is internationally recognized as a leader in the self-defense field. Our clients include women from social services battered womans shelter, teen girls clubs and organization. We are currently developing programs for public and private schools educating and teaching girls of all ages sexual and rape prevention as well as the physical side of self defense. We welcome you to our web pages to assist our daughters, sisters and mothers prevent and avoide as well as survive violent situations.
