Save this for the school year, and send it to a student you care about. 💛

In a real threat, adrenaline can change how you think, move, and react. That’s why realistic training matters.
Model Mugging helps you build more than skills - it builds the ability to access those skills when fearful.

When people ask what makes Model Mugging’s self-defense training different… this is a pretty good place to start. 😅
Model Mugging developed the original Padded Assailant over 50 years ago, creating a way for students to safely train full force against a realistic attacker. Decades later, it’s still one of the things that makes our training unlike anything else.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to take a self-defense class… but…” - this is for you.
We hear these concerns all the time:
❌ “I’m not athletic.”
❌ “Am I too old or out of shape?”
❌ “What if I freeze?”
❌ “Is it worth the investment?”
❌ “What if I embarrass myself?”
❌ “I’m a survivor…”
Here’s what we want you to know: you don’t have to be fearless, fit, or experienced to begin. We promise to meet you exactly you where you are.
Our classes are built for real people - beginners, survivors, parents, professionals, teens, and anyone who wants to feel more confident and prepared.
You’re not expected to walk in already knowing what to do. That’s what training is for.
