Devi Protective Offense

Teja Van Wicklen, founder is a women's self defense system that focuses primarily on Mommy & Me Self Defense and new methodology for Instructors of Women's Self Defense.

Devi was 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.

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. The way you think will determine the quality of your life and your family's life. Self defense - what we call - protective offense (offense for the purpose of self defense) should be about problem solving and quick thinking, not just about kicking and punching.

In Devi workshops we talk about criminal strategies and how to recognize them. We learn how to work with our body's natural reactions to fear. And we learn to test physical techniques so we can discern which are likely to work best should the worst happen.

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

Party Pooper: Kids and Chaos

I was at a birthday party at one of those play places with my son recently. I understand the pull of the giant blow up toys! I do. Bouncy things and tunnels to crawl through. But some of them are a disaster waiting to happen. Too much chaos, not enough eyes on kids.

On walking in I immediately questioned the safety of the place...  continue reading...
