At our studio on the Gold Coast, we are passionate about equipping women of all ages and abilities with the essential skills and mindset to protect themselves and embrace their inner strength. Our approach to teaching self-defence and empowerment is grounded in inclusivity, ensuring that every woman who walks through our doors feels welcome and supported.
We understand that self-defence needs vary across different age groups and levels of ability, which is why we offer specialised classes tailored to cater to various life stages:

Our Training Methods
Our multi-modal approach means we combine various techniques and strategies from different disciplines, such as striking, grappling, situational awareness, verbal de-escalation, and psychological preparedness, to enhance personal safety and self-defence capabilities.
This approach recognises that real-life confrontations can be unpredictable and require a flexible and adaptable response.
In our self-defence training classes, various types of equipment may be used to enhance the learning experience and simulate scenarios. To adhere to our client’s touch and spacial boundaries, we use Muay Thai pads, tactical dummies, focus pads and punching mitts, and training bags. To maximise our class session times, our trainers will alternate between group, paired and 1-on-1 training variations.
Step into an empowering environment where you can learn essential skills, build confidence, and connect with a supportive community of like-minded women. It's time to prioritise your safety, embrace your power, and discover the strength within you.
Our classes are at an affordable rate of just $10 per person per class. If you wish to embark on a transformative journey of self-defence and empowerment, sign up to our waitlist below to be notified when we’re running our next round of group classes.

Support Fierce Females In Helping Women Live A Life Free From Violence
We see a world where everyone has the knowledge and tools to write their own story and live a life free from violence.
As a not-for-profit ACNC-registered charity, Fierce Females offers a hope-focused and person-centred approach to teaching women self-empowerment and defence, striving to cultivate a lasting impact on violence against women.
This is why we’re heavily involved in the community, extending our programs and workshops right from our Helensvale studio to Gold Coast schools and universities, corporations, and NGOs. We also have a collaborative relationship with the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and frequently assist victims of crime, especially those who are victims of domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA).
