The Zoom course is a well-rounded beginners class for self-defense. I learned a lot more than I anticipated, including about myself.I have taken this class twice now, and picked up new things the second time around. I would 100% take this class again.

Mona from Lioness Martial Arts gave Dickinson College females a very impactful, informative, and fun lesson. Despite being on zoom, we had an amazing time. Definitely worth the time for the growth and experience. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in self defense and especially women. We learned a ton! 10/10 would do again!

I learned great verbal and physical techniques in the Zoom class. It was very well-organized and it ran very smoothly – it was my first Zoom class! I will never say “please” before I tell someone to “leave me alone”!

This class was useful and empowering. I highly recommend it for any woman who would like to learn more about awareness, confidence and defense skills. The group was nonjudgmental and supportive. I am trying to encourage all of my female friends and family to take this course! It is worth every penny.

I have taken two of Mona’s classes and would absolutely recommend them for anyone interested in self-defense. Even if you can only take one class in the session do it! This class is truly a safe space and welcoming environment for women of all ages and backgrounds. These classes are not only about defending yourself physically but also emotionally. Building awareness, affirming your boundaries and other strategies for handling difficult situations are addressed in these classes. These skills are important for all women, no matter what age and Mona does a fantastic job of navigating these topics!

These classes should be required education in schools! Mona is not your typical-looking self defense instructor. She looks like someone you’d have over for tea. But when she starts taking punches from students, your respect for her goes through the roof. My daughter took her advanced class about how to use every day objects to protect herself and shortly after got into a harassment situation at school. Her first response after escalating her verbiage was to look around for a weapon, if needed. She said her responses were a direct result of her training. Glad the situation was defused, but she was ready for anything. I’m starting the advanced class myself soon. Can’t wait!

Mona of Lioness Martial Arts is an amazing instructor. Knowledgeable, Patient and Powerful!
