She has designed a series of classes based on the combination of skills she has learned
throughout her training over the years and tailored them to the public. Jennifer also teaches
civilian self-defense and street smart survival skills through the community colleges
in her area. She is a professional child visitation monitor in the Los Angeles and Ventura
county areas. Jennifer has been training in Krav Maga and mixed martial arts since 2004.
She has a deep love and connection of not only the arts but the understanding of the need for
women to know and have the skills for their own safety and protection. Through working with
domestic violence victims and post-traumatic stress disorder she sees first-hand how teaching the skills to women helps them to get their power back and gain their confidence again. Her classes also help re-wire the trauma and the anxiety in the brain from the victim mentality, into being a VICTOR! Her instruction includes detailed information on body mechanics, hostile situations and the nature of attacks. Jennifer’s goal is to pass on her knowledge to others so that they may be more safe and confident in this uncertain world. Self-defense is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm.
The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions. Wikipedia

Jennifer is currently active in ongoing training with Martial Arts Masters as well as with law enforcement officers
and stunt actors to increase her knowledge and skill. She remains an active volunteer for the neighborhood watch
in her community and participates in basic car meetings with senior lead officers for her neighborhood.
