About Soul Punch and Warrior Healing Arts

Welcome to Soul Punch Self-Defense, where women’s empowerment meets action and community. Whether you’ve come here seeking to reclaim your power, protect yourself, or strengthen your presence in the world, you’ve taken a bold first step—and we commend you for showing up.

The Soul Punch Mission

Soul Punch was founded by Gloria Marcott, a tactical trailblazer with 18 years in law enforcement and over two decades of experience in women’s self-defense. Since launching in 1992, Gloria has trained over 10,000 women, empowering them with her distilled, high-impact curriculum. Her epic vision is to train #1million women to train #5million more women and girls—creating a ripple effect of safety, awareness, and empowerment across the globe.

At its core, Soul Punch is about more than just physical defense; it’s about transforming how you walk through the world.

How Warrior Healing Arts and Soul Punch Converge

As the founder of Warrior Healing Arts, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people defend their well-being and embrace balance through a fusion of martial arts, mindfulness, and holistic health practices. With over a decade of martial arts experience, I’ve witnessed firsthand how these disciplines empower individuals, providing fitness, mental clarity, spirituality, and a sense of community.

Partnering with Soul Punch was a natural evolution of this work. The intersection of our missions—empowering women to reclaim their strength and defend their sacred spaces—is where the magic happens. Warrior Healing Arts brings a unique blend of mindfulness and embodiment practices to the Soul Punch experience, helping participants integrate their newfound skills on a deeper level.

The Two-Hour Soul Punch Self Defense Seminar

This seminar integrates tactical skills with inner strength, helping women reclaim their voices, command presence, and boundaries. Every skill you learn here—from situational awareness to physical techniques—adds to your ability to protect and honor yourself and your community.

This two-hour workshop is designed for any woman who wants to feel:

• Safer

• Stronger

• More Confident

During the seminar, participants will learn:

• Foundational Safety and Self-Defense Skills

• Soul DefendHER™ Training

• Empowerment Techniques

• And much, much more!

This isn’t about learning how to fight; it’s about understanding how to survive. Soul Punch provides real-world self-defense training based on actual attack dynamics, with one goal: to complete the class feeling equipped with the skills to survive a sudden, unexpected, physical attack or attempted abduction.

Here’s what makes our training unique:

• Layered Safety Strategies: Learn tactics that build on each other to create a robust defense.

• Leverage-Based Movements: Use natural leverage to manipulate and break down the body.

• Offsetting Size Disparities: Gain techniques to neutralize attackers regardless of strength or size.

• Real-World Focus: Training grounded in practical, actionable skills that make a difference.

By the end of the session, you’ll transition from “thinking” about safety to absolutely knowing your skill level and capability.

Why We’re Here

Like many women, I’ve faced the pervasive challenges of harassment, coercion, and violence. These experiences led me to martial arts and a commitment to transform not just myself but also the lives of others. This is not just about defense; it’s about creating a world where women move through life with confidence, self-awareness, and unapologetic power.

Whether you’re here because of something you’ve experienced or because you want to take charge of your safety, this work is about reclaiming your power. Together, through Soul Punch and Warrior Healing Arts, we’re creating a safer, stronger future for ourselves and generations to come.
