Weapons of Fitness: The Women’s Ultimate Guide to Fitness, Self-Defense, and Empowerment

A groundbreaking self-defense and fitness book for women by a ballerina-turned-self-defense expert. Learn how to become your own weapon of self-defense and fitness so that you can create and target your best life.

It was an immediate sensation, and is now in demand by everyone from corporate executives to Hollywood stars—such as Amanda Seyfried, Megan Boone, Keri Russell, and Matthew Rhys, to name a few—who seek her classes both for the self-defense and for the intense, body-sculpting workout.
