Fail the predatory interview

Most criminals who target women regardless of the crime, begin their attack long before you see them. This process is what we call the Predatory Interview. They look at how you move, how you walk, how you use eye contact, etc. Training with us will change all of those things. You will move with a level of confidence that will cause you to FAIL THE PREDATORY INTERVIEW from a distance.

With so many fitness options, why choose Kore Self Defense?

You have more fitness options than grocery stores here in Loudoun County. Training in a Krav Maga based self-defense program will do one thing the other programs can never do for you: remarkably decrease your chances of being approached as a potential crime victim.

Although Krav Maga is one of the best systemized approaches for self-defense training, Tammy understands no single system can be the sum total source of information. She has trained under other violence experts Including international expert & author, Rory Miller, with whom she has a collaborative working relationship.

Ongoing Events for Women

  • First Fridays: The first Friday of every month is a free (and open to the public) women’s only self-defense class.
  • Several times a year a women’s introductory course is taught at the Silver Eagle Group in Ashburn, Virginia.

First and most important: Training in Krav Maga changes how you walk, move, & generally manage your body in all aspects of life.

Women who train in Krav Maga hear the following remarks:

  • “What are you doing? The way you walk has changed.”
  • “Wow, I don’t know what you’ve been doing…but if I was a mugger I wouldn’t come within 10 feet of you.”
  • “You are one of the most confident women I know. How’d you get there?”
