Women & Girls at Synergy Tao
We don’t run a women-only class. Instead, we make our mixed sessions welcoming and safe — with Sije Gina Ridgway as our Women & Girls’ lead voice. You’ll build calm confidence and practical skill against the most likely threat — bigger, stronger men — in a controlled, coached and respectful way. Zero machismo. Zero ego.
How we keep mixed training safe & useful
- Women’s voice at the table: Sije Gina helps set standards for welcome, boundaries and support.
- Controlled partner work: bigger/stronger isn’t rougher — partners are coached and supervised.
- Consent & boundaries: you can say “lighter / slower / stop” at any time; coaches enforce it.
- Contact scaled to experience: no hard sparring; Pressure testing intensity rises only with your say-so and experience.
- Technique over strength: structure, angles and timing do the work.
- Respectful culture: zero tolerance for bullying or point-scoring; kindness is part of the training.
Your first sessions — what to expect
- Quick check-in about goals or concerns; we pair you with a helpful partner.
- Short, coached drills that build timing and calm under pressure.
- Clear cues for stopping, resetting and asking for adjustments any time.
Practical notes
- Wear comfy sportswear/trainers; bring water; long hair tied back.
- Period-friendly approach: you set your limits each session — no explanations needed.
- Parents/guardians may observe Warriors (4–10) sessions.
FAQs
Do you have a women-only class?
Not currently. We focus on mixed sessions that are safe, respectful and realistic, with clear boundaries and coaching.
Will I have to train with men?
Often yes — because it builds real-world confidence. Partners are briefed, supervised and responsive. No one is allowed to “prove a point”.
What if I’m nervous or brand new?
That’s normal. We start simple, keep contact light, and check in often. You control the pace and if required you can ask for Sije Gina to work with you in your first sessions until you feel comfortable.
What should I wear?
Comfortable sportswear and trainers. Uniforms are optional later.
