More About Pretty Deadly
Not Your Grandmother's Self Defense ;)
Pretty Deadly Self Defense is designed for the way women actually learn, the things women actually face, and that's actually fun!
​
Origin
Created by violent crime survivor and martial artist Susie Kahlich, the Pretty Deadly Program was developed as an answer to traditional, fear-driven self defense courses that too often scare women away for the very reasons they're learning self defense in the first place!
​
What A Pretty Deadly Class Is Like
Emphasizing functional movement and body dynamics, Pretty Deadly classes are modeled on Crossfit's limited class size to encourage connection and take advantage of personal training in a small group training setting, and Zumba's high-energy choreography and sheer joy of movement.
​
Pretty Deadly Worldwide
It's a winning combination that's been empowering thousands of women around the world since 2016.
Trainer Certification
Pretty Deadly began certifying self defense trainers in 2018 with the goal of making accessible self defense more accessible to more women, while offering fitness and martial arts pros a proven method for teaching self defense to women and truly helping clients grow.
​
Trauma-informed Approach
Pretty Deadly's trainer certification course takes a trauma-informed approach to support both clients and instructors in safe, healthy environments.
​
International Community
The Pretty Deadly Trainer Community includes martial artists, personal trainers, yoga instructors and boxing coaches from Pakistan to the UK, and Germany to USA.
​
Be A Part of Something Bigger
Pretty Deadly dedicates a portion of its profits to its volunteer work bringing self defense to vulnerable groups. Visit our Mission page to learn more about our field work fueled by our global community.
