Self-defence is about more than the fight.

When we stop underestimating what we're capable of, and embody the knowledge that we can fight our way to survival if necessary, we're able to walk taller and stronger in every area of life.

Self-defence training is an important part of empowerment.

Horse Sense North offers coaching, workshops and programs that empower us to be who we're meant to become. Empowerment comes in many shapes and forms, one of which is learning how to defend ourselves physically. When we stop underestimating what we're capable of, and embody the knowledge that we can fight our way to survival if necessary, we're able to walk taller and stronger in every area of life.

Carmen trained intensively with self-defence instructor, Helen Stranzl, for 4 years in her youth. When their training came to an end, they lost touch for nearly 17 years. Even though they were not in contact, the lessons learned in self-defence were part of Carmen's awareness every single day. When they reconnected in 2021, it became clear that Carmen was ready to step into the next chapter of self-defence training: becoming an instructor.

You are an incredible woman and have already inspired, and will continue to do so through your amazing workshops.
Now that you are including this new chapter in your life, you will gift women/ girls/ & boys with the skills and abilities to stay safe and confident.
You have such empathy and great understanding of others and you know how to reach out to them in order to help, and I couldn’t be more happy and confident to know that you will teach your methods and help countless people from this day forward.
You make me proud, and you make me smile and I thank you for being such an incredible inspiration.
