News Bureau and L.A.’s Channel 9 News, and a popular public speaker on the topic of defense decisions for women, Lori Hartman Gervasi is a black belt self-defense expert trained in American Karate.

Endorsements

"Lori Hartman Gervasi taught us how to be totally prepared when it comes to our personal security. Her presentation was both humorous and entertaining, even though she was discussing a serious and important topic. The information was highly relevant to all the women, especially to those of us in the workplace. Out of all of our speakers, Lori was a favorite. The women identified with her, and they were able to take her advice and instantly apply it to their lives."
Pam Poliakoff

“I personally want to thank you for attending the meeting of the National Association of Women in Construction... Your talk left me with the chills after the evening was over. I forget to be aware of my surroundings—you changed that when you opened my eyes to be more observant of “my space”. Thank you. Please…contact me when your book is available—I cannot think of a better gift to give my friends for any occasion.”
Ellen Colglazier

“I was so grateful to hear Lori Gervasi at her Fight Like a Girl…and Win lecture. So much valuable information was given, and presented in a positive, humorous, and feminine style. I only wish I could pack Lori in my suitcase and take her to work with me as she brings light to a topic that has been left in the dark way too long.”
Tamara Jones
Flight Attendant, American Airlines

“For nearly three hours, she had us at the edge of our seats as she delivered important information about attack situations we’d never heard before. Surprisingly, she also had us smiling and laughing when it came to the hands-on demonstrations. Lori was able to take an extremely serious subject, and with her expertise, interject humor and real-world applications that allowed us all to feel empowered again.”
