"Street Smarts for Women"

In addition to our karate program Cascade Karate also offers specialized self-defense training for women specifically tailored to address the unique threats they face. 

Created and taught by Nancy Solheim (who as a petite woman has had to modify her karate to address the physical disadvantage of size) “Street Smarts for Women” is based upon self-defense concepts that can be employed by anyone regardless of size. The instructional emphasis is focused on developing the awareness and deterrence skills necessary to avoid being chosen as a victim. And, the physical skills necessary to create a “window of opportunity” to escape an attack if you are.

Classes are offered in a seminar format. On-site seminars can also be arranged on a group basis. Please call for current scheduled programs or to arrange a seminar.
