"Women leave our seminars feeling much more secure and confident, walking out with their chins a little higher and shoulders back a little further."
Stylish Safety

Lidia_presentsStylish Safety seminars were created by Lidia Szczepanowski, an attorney, black belt, philanthropist, Mrs. New York America 2006 and Mrs. New York International 2009.  As a nationally acclaimed Women's Safety Awareness expert and advocate, Lidia is determined to continue to advance this very worthwhile movement  while inspiring and challenging women to live remarkable lives. Lidia’s thought provoking one-of-kind seminars help build confidence and instill strength into the minds of women. They are extraordinarily empowering and provide women with the skills necessary to avoid an attack, and if required, to fight back against a perpetrator.  

Attendees of Stylish Safety seminars are educated about so much more than just self defense. By learning and applying just a few simple principles to their lives, women can significantly decrease their chances of being the victim of a crime. Although it takes many years of training to become proficient in any martial art, Lidia demonstrates how a person does not have to be a Black Belt in order to be able to defend themselves.  At Stylish Safety seminars, women discover the secrets to successful crime avoidance and  learn simple yet powerful and highly effective defensive maneuvers.

 

Women are urged to "know all their weapons and how to use them." These include not only "material" weapons such as shoes, keys, a handbag, hair spray, or a whistle but they also include "natural" weapons such as their voice, body parts, and most importantly, their confidence and self esteem.

 

Stylish Safety is a dynamic multi-media seminar designed to educate women of all ages and from all walks of life, with practical and effective defensive tactics to be used in real life situations. Whether she is a "working girl," stay-at-home mom, student, or sensational senior, all women will benefit from attending one of our seminars.

 

"Although national crime was up 3.7% in the first half of 2006 and statistically 1 in 6 women over the age of 12 have been victims of an attempted or completed rape, I teach women not to live in fear, but to always be aware of their surroundings and be prepared" explains Lidia.


Lidia, having over 10 years of martial arts experience, is a true Dangerous Diva. She believes all women have the right to be safe and should learn how to avoid being a victim and how to defend themselves. At a Stylish Safety seminars, women are taught how to live safer lives by learning and remembering the "DIVAS", an acronym that identifies  the "5 Steps to Safety."  Women learn defensive tactics such as the "Stiletto Stomp," "Handbag Hurl," "Brutal Brush" and many others while receiving invaluable information about safety at home, work, in an automobile, using public transportation, in public places such as restrooms, ATM machines, night clubs, the mall and so much more!

Women are inspired with a keen sense of awareness, assertiveness, and self-assurance. In today's world, the most essential qualities a woman can possess are her sense of safety, security and strength!
