Sparta, NJ: October 8th, 2025: In today’s world, self-defense is more than a skill—it’s a necessity. For women of all ages, having the tools to protect themselves builds not only physical safety but also confidence and peace of mind. Fitness Defense, a fitness and self-defense training center founded on the values of empowerment and wellness, is introducing a 6-week women’s self-defense course starting October 14, 2025, and running through November 20, 2025. The program is designed to help women gain practical skills in a supportive, judgment-free environment while improving strength and overall health.

The upcoming course focuses on teaching participants the top five basic Krav Maga self-defense techniques, along with situational awareness strategies that help women avoid danger before it happens. No prior experience is required, making the program accessible to beginners as well as those who want to sharpen their existing skills. Classes will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, ensuring a consistent schedule that allows participants to build their confidence and skill set over time.

“Fitness Defense was built on the belief that every woman deserves to feel safe, confident, and strong,” said a representative from Fitness Defense. “This 6-week self-defense course is about more than just learning how to throw a punch—it’s about teaching women how to recognize danger, trust their instincts, and defend themselves if needed. At the same time, we focus on overall wellness, stress relief, and building a supportive community. We want every participant to walk away not only with practical skills but also with a renewed sense of empowerment.”

Beyond self-defense, Fitness Defense integrates traditional kickboxing into its programs, making the experience unique from other training centers. Kickboxing classes at Fitness Defense are designed for people of all fitness levels and emphasize not only technique but also strength, core stability, and overall conditioning. These classes are non-contact and take place in a collaborative setting, where members partner with one another to learn and practice skills safely. Participants benefit from a full-body workout while simultaneously gaining valuable defensive strategies that can be applied in real-life scenarios.
At the heart of Fitness Defense is a strong mission: to provide a non-judgmental, supportive space where members can get stronger, relieve stress, lose weight, and improve their overall confidence while mastering the basics of self-defense. Its vision extends beyond physical fitness, aiming to inspire adults of all ages to embrace traditional kickboxing as a pathway to better health, resilience, and empowerment.

Leading the program is Laura De Luca, an ACSM Certified, Krav Maga certified, and CPR/AED Certified personal trainer with extensive experience in traditional kickboxing. Trained for several years under Heather Smith, a second-degree black belt, Laura has combined martial arts fundamentals such as proper stance, mindfulness, and patience with strength training and cardio to create a program that is as enriching as it is practical.
