Welcome to the NRV Women’s Self Defense, we are located at the Newport Community Center on Fridays from 6pm-7:30pm.

***As of April 25th 2026, the classes at the Radford Recreation Center will end. We plan on having workshops/seminars at this location throughout the year on various dates and times. 

***We will continue to come to you for your groups or even private classes  

What you can gain from class: 

Increased confidence and awareness 

Increase mental focus and reduce stress

Learn some very effective self defense skills, techniques, and strategies for realistic situations 

Top that off with getting physically fit through a full body workout which can increase strength, stamina, and flexibility. Having said all of that, nobody has to be “in shape” to take our classes. 

**** Location and times:

Newport Community Center(Giles): Fridays 6pm to 7:30pm

Our mission:

“We seek to provide a realistic, safe martial arts training environment that will allow our students to grow in confidence by developing their physical attributes, mental strength, and indomitable spirit.”
