Women's Self Defense: "Drawing the Line"
Advertisement
This class goes beyond physical defense—it’s about awareness, confidence, and knowing when to act.
About this Event

It is designed to help women confidently recognize when a situation is truly unsafe—and to trust their instincts without hesitation or self-doubt. Moving beyond traditional self-defense, the program focuses on situational awareness, behavioral cues, and decision-making in real-world scenarios.


Participants will gain practical knowledge and skills to answer critical questions many women face:

  • What should I be looking for in a potentially dangerous situation?
  • When do warning signs matter most?
  • How can I confirm my instincts so I know I’m not overreacting?

The session will also include guidance on boundary-setting and simple, effective self-defense strategies that can be applied in everyday life.



About the Presenter

The class will be led by Joe Malone, CPP, Founder and CEO of JM Training. Joe is a Board-Certified Protection Professional and former Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Raider with over 20 years of experience in military operations, protective security, and executive training.

A Chicago-area native, Joe served 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including multiple deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, where he worked alongside elite special operations and intelligence units. Following his honorable retirement, he founded JM Training, providing high-level instruction in workplace violence prevention, personal safety, and defensive tactics for corporate clients, government agencies, and civilians.

Joe is also the author of The Women’s Safety Guide and is widely recognized for his practical, real-world approach to personal safety and threat awareness.
