All of our ONLINE courses are taught by SFWA Certified Instructors . . . using curriculum developed by the Founder of Shooting for Women Alliance . . . and designed specifically for civilians who want to increase their odds that they will prevail in an attack . . . and learn in the comfort of their own home!
"After being held hostage in my home in 1992 for 5 1/2 hours at knifepoint and then stalked for 2 years before there were carry permits or stalking laws, I learned quickly that self defense was my responsibility alone. There were no classes for women, no gear designed with women in mind and, worse, the law enforcement/military led training I received would not help me as a civilian defend myself efficiently and effectively. I was scared and alone. That experience and my journey thereafter was the necessity that created what is today a training mindset and technique that proves that staying alive is more than a gun and gear and training that made no realistic sense for a civilian having been in fear for my life for 2 years and 5 1/2 hours. I loved life and did not want to live in fear. After being in the shooting industry professionally since 1997 as a consultant and publisher, SFWA was founded in 2003 to help women and their families from a civilian perspective which has proven effective over more than 20 years and 100,000+ students I have personally taught. SFWA has developed these online courses that have segments of LIVE virtual interaction with SFWA Master Instructors and a personal trainer to help you with your unique qualities. You will experience effective and efficient techniques that will empower you in your personal journey. My sincere thanks for trusting SFWA in your training. I am always just a phone call or email away from any of SFWA's tens of thousands of students, and look forward to adding you to my list of new best friends."—Susan Romanov, SFWA Founder
