Devi Protective Offense is a self defense system for women and Instructors of women, created by 25 year veteran Martial Artist, Personal Trainer, Edged Weapons Instructor, Emergency Medical Technician and Mom, Teja Van Wicklen.


"Teja makes it personal, makes it real. [She] has created teaching that resonates"  ~ Rory Miller, Author of Meditations on Violence and Facing Violence 

The Workshops, DVDs and CDs cover physical and mental techniques specific to women's bodies, clothing and habits.

The Mommy & Me Self Defense program was created specifically for moms of children under 12.

Women require different answers, in fact, the questions are different altogether. The things women are in danger of and the ways women are attacked suggest the need for more insight into women's lives and the way they function rather than the grafting of men's self defense techniques onto classes for women.  

Devi Protective Offense sees self defense as an excuse to learn crucial life skills. 

In Devi Workshops Women and Self Defense Instructors will learn about criminal strategies like asking for or offering help so they can avoid bad situations to begin with. They will learn how to deal with Fight, Flight, Freeze responses like Tunnel Vision and Auditory Exclusion. And they will learn to figure out which techniques are likely to work best for them and their personal circumstances, should the worst happen.

Women need a true to life, evolving system that answers questions specific to them. It's time they get it.

Blog Excerpt:

Excerpt From The New
Baby Steps CD:

"Protective Offense is the study of dealing with adversity, of high-speed problem solving, of projecting and reaching goals. It’s the study of disarming bad situations, of survival, perseverance, awareness, of dynamic rather than passive living.

Preparing for life-threatening emergencies wakes up a part of our brain we rarely use, sharpens thought processes and prepares us for all manners of adversity.

Becoming fluent in the language of safety means to become more effective in any situation that requires you to make split second decisions with lasting ramifications.

Understanding violence and being prepared for sudden emergencies will help remove some of the fear and apprehension from your life."
