Soul Punch™ Self-Defense was founded by Gloria Marcott, a law enforcement veteran and survivor, with a single, powerful mission:

Redefine the safety equation for women and girls forever.

At Soul Punch™, we don't just teach physical defense. We equip women with the full spectrum of real-world safety skills blending mental preparedness, situational awareness, emotional resilience, simple physical tactics, and cutting-edge technology.

We train women to become Certified Soul Punch™ Trainers, leaders in their communities who teach real-world self-defense, situational awareness, and empowerment strategies drawn directly from the Soul Punch™ curriculum.

Our certification program is designed to fit your life whether you want to teach once a quarter, part-time, or eventually transition into a full-time safety career. Regardless of how often you teach, when you become a Soul Punch™ Certified Trainer, you join a global movement dedicated to saving lives, building strength, and shifting culture.

Through our corporate safety programs, keynote engagements, and community partnerships, we help organizations create safer workplaces, stronger families, and more empowered communities.

And through our exclusive Soul DefendHER™ 2.0 device, the most advanced smart pepper spray system available, we provide women with a powerful personal defense tool that activates instant emergency support at the push of a button.

Our Vision:

• 1 million women trained.

• 5 million more women and girls protected.

• A global movement of safety, strength, and unstoppable leadership.

Soul Punch™ is more than a training company, it’s a revolution in how women walk the world.

We are building a future where women and girls no longer just "hope" to be safe. They are equipped, empowered, and leading the change themselves.

"Whatever you are going to use to save your life, you need to train with to save your life. Whether that's your hands or a tool. Train." — Gloria Marcott
