Good Morning America's reporter and camera crew came in for an interview and shot the class. It was featured on Good Morning America's episode on "women's safety", after an incident of a young woman who was assaulted while running.
CBS News featured SHIELD in response to the recent assault of a young woman in an apt gym.
This was aired on CBS & KCAL9 on April 1, 2023 in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Due to the high rate of sexual assault & teen pregnancy, SHIELD Women's Self Defense was hired to visit the Same District in Tanzania, Africa, to teach self defense classes for women and girls. Classes were taught daily for 2 weeks for various groups of teachers, school principals, students, police department, survivors of gender based violence, community educators, and the Maasai tribal women. SHIELD Women's Self Defense program is currently a part of the curriculum for 19 schools in Tanzania.
ABC7 News visited SHIELD studio for an interview on our women's self defense classes, following El Paso and Dayton shootings.

Since 2003, SHIELD Women's Self Defense System ® has been providing self defense classes for women and girls by training them on how to fight back a much stronger opponent in close-range situations. Unlike other self defense or martial arts, SHIELD women's self defense classes emphasizes on using leverage and lower body strength to generate power. Based on a mixture of martial arts principles, self-defense and street fighting skills, SHIELD Women's Self Defense System was created exclusively for women & girls.
The logic is simple, to get used to something, we first have to experience it. We can't swim without going in the water. The difference between fear and terror is in knowing what to do. When we know what to do, fear is a motivation ally. When we don't know what to do, or have never experienced it, we will freeze in terror because we have no clear goal on how to respond. The difference is in the TRAINING!
OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to empower women and girls, eradicate sexual assault, and even up the playing field through our unique self-defense training system.
OUR VISION:
Our Vision is for women and girls to have self defense skills and capability to be destructive to anyone attempting to violate them.
Our Vision is for SHIELD Women's Self Defense System ® to be the standard self-defense training system for women and girls.
"Right from the first class, we were immersed in drills that gave us first hand experience about what it was like to be jolted (off balance) and attacked. No part of our bodies was safe; throat, hair, sneak attacks from behind, being lifted off the ground. All of these scenarios sound terrifying. Yet Nelson helped us to experience and free ourselves from discomfort and anxiety. This went far beyond mental preparation. My body quickly adapted to aggressive physical contact, and instinctively “knew” how react in order to defend and free myself. And how to turn the tables on an attacker. No situation left me frozen in fear or pain. This was remarkable feeling for me!
I have been urging friends to take this incredible course. The moves are so basic, so easy. This is the only self defense course that has been so liberating for me....(con't to Endorsement page)
