Coastal Self Defense Academy

Coastal Self Defense Academy was invited to be part of a Community Safety for Seniors program that the Santa Maria Police Department was offering to Senior living communities in their area. We went to the Knollwood Community to share empowerment and safety tips in conjunction with the Police Department's Community Outreach to Seniors. It was fun, lively, well-received and informative! Thank you to our Coastal Self Defense supporters and donors to allow for us to reach out to Seniors beyond Santa Barbara!

Coastal Self Defense Academy loves sharing Self Defense protection, mobility expansion and balance and lifting personal confidence! Thanks to community support and donations...we are able to provide year round classes to the wonderful students of the Braille Institute of Santa Barbara! Greater confidence and security leads to greater independence and bigger lives filled with more positivity!

We're breaking boards and breaking barriers. Coastal Self Defense Academy volunteer Teri McDuffie brought free self-defense classes to our students at our Santa Barbara center. Coastal Self Defense Academy empowers at-risk populations with valuable mental and physical strategies to stay safe while building self-reliance and self-esteem. BIA students at the Santa Barbara Center had an amazing time working with Teri and breaking these light boards at their last class.
