About
Lady Sensei
Self-defense instructor Lady Sensei has an impressive background in martial arts and combatives. Holding master-level black belts in various disciplines, she possesses extensive knowledge in bladed weapons, empty hand combat, and improvised weapons. Her expertise has earned her recognition and respect in the field, leading her to conduct seminars across North America and the Caribbean. Lady Sensei has even made appearances on popular TV shows such as Disney Plus and the History Channel's "Forged in Fire: Knife or Death" competition, showcasing her skills. Additionally, she was honored as the 2020 Instructor of The Year in the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame.
Lady Sensei brings a wealth of experience as a retired behavioral health professional. She believes that self defense is an integral part of health and wellness. With over a decade of service on a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team and as a certified crisis prevention and management training instructor, she possesses valuable insights into conflict resolution and crisis management. Her team replaced hospital police; they reduced the use of restraints and workplace violence to manage patients in crisis. Certified by the New York State Office of Mental Health, she provided special training in crisis intervention and security for staff who now participate in crisis management.
Lady Sensei's unique combination of martial arts and behavioral health knowledge leverages an approach to conflict from both physical and emotional perspectives. This enables her to provide effective methods for avoiding and diffusing dangerous situations. Through her guidance, individuals and groups can learn essential communication tactics and de-escalation strategies to proactively prevent violence. As a motivational speaker, she travels worldwide, empowering girls and women to engage in martial arts training and advocate for their own well-being. She is also the president and founder of the Women's Martial Arts Network, where she continues to make a significant impact in the field of self-defense.
