Had the best time taking this self defense class with Rachel! It was such an empowering experience and I feel much more confident about handling myself when situations may arise. Love the work shes doing for women and this community. Highly recommend taking class from her!

Rachel Mahloch is one of a kind!I love her approach to situational awareness, mindfulness, and womens self defense. It feels so empowering to take a class from someone who looks like me (petite female) and has been put in similar uncomfortable situations as a woman. I came out of class feeling incredibly empowered. To see the strength and power Rachel has is inspiring.I absolutely cannot wait to take more classes with Rachel. Also, the work she does in the community is so commendable.If you are on the fence, just go and see for yourself!! She is awesome.

This class is AWESOME!! You will learn some great self defense techniques that can be used in common real life scenarios. Youll also walk away feeling empowered, confident, and able to de-escalate situations and set boundaries to prevent them from happening. This class has it all!

Rachel is awesome. She worked with my daughter (12) and showed her the basics of self defense but also really motivated her to improve her health and fitness and - most importantly - her self confidence. Really awesome sauce.

Several months after taking the Battle Woman course I feel as if I am more aware, capable, and prepared to handle adverse altercations. The effect has been lasting and I especially appreciate the mental techniques that were taught.I would highly recommend this for women seeking effective and simplistic safety techniques.

I am a teacher and have also been a karate student for nearly fifteen years. Rachel is simply one off the finest martial artists I’ve ever trained with (not to mention she has two black belts from different styles of martial arts).I have brought my daughters, as well as my daughters friends to her classes for over two years now, and I always feel we learn something practical.... the girls have come out more confident and are simply more skilled after Rachels classes. I feel that having a smaller womans perspective is critical for effective self defense... this often doesnt happen when the instructor is a male and is over 6 tall. It just doesnt - they have difficulty imagining what it would realistically be like in a small womans body, and how we need to fight differently.Rachel has a travel light philosophy - which she teaches a few core techniques and shows how to modify them; she doesnt overload students with too many different techniques or impractical scenarios. She is a great communicator, very positive, and easily connects with both teens and adults. She is able to answer tough questions and break down the core concepts- providing practical, realistic scenarios and how to defend against them. Its more than a self-defense class, its also a self- awareness class. Every woman and girl should become proficient in what Rachel has to offer. I cant recommend it enough, and I wish all young and older women alike would take Rachels classes.

I have taken some mother/daughter self-defense classes with Battle Mom and she is AMAZING! Her classes were very empowering. Im looking forward to working with Battle Mom more in the future. She is passionate about her work and I wish everyone could experience her lessons.

Rachel is amazing! She has actually had to use many of the techniques that she teaches. She is a smaller woman so she has been the target of men trying to take advantage but she uses her confidence and years of martial arts training to easily overpower common attacks that women experience. Students dont just hit pads and dummies, they also hit her team of men who are trained to take it but also dont just go down for you. My wife, mom, and wifes friend loved taking her class and have actually gone back for additional lessons.

Battlemom’s curriculum is absolutely top notch. What she teaches is practical and empowering. I have not seen a self defense class geared towards women that is more effective and on-point.

I really enjoyed taking Battlemoms self-defense class. I left feeling empowered and confident. She is patient and takes the time to work with everyone one on one. I will be signing my daughter up for Battlemoms next class in Boulder.

Battle mom is my favorite self defense provider in CO. She understands what women want to learn and the many situations that can happen in our daily life. She is thoughtful about what she teaches and really makes you feel like you are strong. It is empowering to be able to bring down a potential attacker. She partners with a really cool Dojo out in Westminster called Dojo Source and both of the male helpers are ready for you to take them down. If you are looking for self defense in the area go to her classes! You will not be disappointed.
