About She Fights Back
She Fights Back is a women's self-defence and empowerment program based in Surry Hills, delivering practical, realistic training that helps women feel safer and more confident in everyday life. Built on the belief that everyone is entitled to live free from the fear of violence, the program focuses on real-world skills rather than sport for its own sake.
Sessions are run out of the Krav Maga Defence Institute on Chalmers Street and combine threat awareness and de-escalation with hands-on fighting technique. Participants learn to read situations, respond instinctively and shift their mindset quickly from fear to action, all within a supportive, inclusive atmosphere that welcomes women of every age, size and fitness level.
Because the training is physical and scenario-based, it doubles as a genuine full-body workout, blending cardio, strength and pad work. Whether you join a focused two-hour workshop or commit to ongoing weekly courses, She Fights Back offers Sydney women a confidence-building, skills-first approach to personal safety taught in a welcoming Surry Hills setting.
