Self-Defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange (S.A.F.E.) is a 2.0-hour introduction to a self-defense program that provides attendees with information, tactics and options, which we believe may be useful for various types of crimes perpetrated against women. While S.A.F.E. is not an in-depth self-defense program, it encompasses information on prevention, options, and strategies as well as some very basic physical defense technique instruction.

Attending S.A.F.E.
The S.A.F.E. Course is a comprehensive self-defense program that includes classroom instruction and hands-on physical training. The course is exclusively available to FIU female students, faculty, and staff at no cost. Participants must register through the S.A.F.E. Course registration link to attend. Please wear comfortable workout attire suitable for physical activity.
