Overview

Empowered Today is an Australian run not-for-profit organisation based near Byron Bay dedicated to providing Empowerment Self Defence training for women and girls, 12 years and older. Our workshops combine the physical skills of self-defence with empowerment training that, together, will help you:

• Believe in Your Own Strength
• Set Personal Boundaries
• Find Your Voice
• Understand Consent
• Learn Effective Risk Assessment
• Be Prepared to Stand Up for Yourself
• Have the Confidence to Protect Yourself
• Master the Physical Skills to Defend Yourself

We are fundraising for a padded suit to enable us to offer our participants the best learning experience we can in our workshops. A padded suit allows participants to use full-force strikes in real-life scenarios without the risk of injuring our instructors. This is such an empowering experience! Learning how to defend one’s self in a violent situation often empowers participants to perform the emotional & mental skills we teach with such confidence that, hopefully, they never have to use those physical skills.
