Our Team
W.A.V.E. was first established in 1997 and focused on teaching women threat awareness combined with basic self-defense techniques to respond to potential threats.
The program focuses on situational awareness, verbal commands, assertive and physical techniques.
You will receive one on one training with our all-female team composed of St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office (SJSO), St. Augustine Police Department (SAPD), and St. Augustine Beach Police Department (SABPD) instructors.
We want to empower women by building their confidence and providing the tools needed to protect themselves and their loved ones.
