We are proud to partner with The StrongHER®Initiative to offer the absolute best in women's self-defense in the Washington DC area. The StrongHER® Initiative focuses on helping women uncover their strength inside and out through education, self-defense, and specialized counseling with a focus on helping women who have experienced trauma. StrongHER® is led by our own Krav Oz Black Belt Instructor and Program Director, Chantell Prestcott-Hollander
Although there is no replacement for the continued training and practice that enables one to defend themselves, we understand that not everyone can or will train regularly. Although we do not claim to offer anyone a one-time quick-fix solution we believe that some train is better than none.
Our comprehensive Women’s self-defense seminars (the same ones regularly taught by Krav Oz at several area universities including American University and Georgetown University) are available for groups ranging in numbers from 10-30 persons. Seminars cover not only the physical aspect of an attack but the psychological.
Our research-based seminars are taught by our lead female instructor and certified counselor. With input from law enforcement officers and mental health professionals and evidence-based from women’s advocacy groups, women will gain a deeper understanding of the psychology behind an attacker and

Last month, I was only going to sign up my 12 year old son but decided to sign up after taking an introductory class. Every class is different and I am learning something new each time. Chantell and Ehren are awesome trainers that push us to do our best. I would definitely recommend Krav Oz LLC to my family and friends!
I took a Women's Self Defense class with Chantell in July and instantly felt a need to continue. A few days later I signed a 12 month contract. I can't believe how far I've come since day one. Chantell and Ehren are amazing instructors. They are so passionate about what they do. Every class is better than the last. I’m constantly talking about my training with my friends and family. I would highly recommend Krav Oz LLC. I don’t know how they do it but I leave every class with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Chantell and Ehren!
I recently attended Krav Oz's Self Defense seminar in Rockville - and it was fantastic! A comprehensive four hours covering everything I could want, and at just the right speed to keep me and the other attendees challenged and engaged. From start to finish, Chantell and Ehren provided excellent instruction; without sacrificing the skill and passion they possess for their field, Chantell and Ehren created an encouraging and stimulating environment fueled by real life, practical examples in the lecture portion, and helpful analogies to make the defense moves in the self-defense portion hit home (pun intended). In short, this seminar was one from which all could benefit - whether you've never heard of Krav Maga, or have spent years on the mats. Can't wait to come check out a class!
