ARMD Riverina is a self-defence school located in Wagga Wagga, offering personal protection and self-defence programmes specifically designed for women. The school's primary objective is not just to teach techniques and strategies, but to instil universal knowledge and awareness of human communication that empowers women to ensure their own safety, regardless of the strategy employed.
ARMD strongly believes that self-awareness, confidence, and effective communication with others are the keys to personal safety. While techniques and strategies are also important, they are considered secondary to fostering these essential qualities. The programme is suitable for women of all fitness levels, and no prior knowledge of self-defence is required.
The school's REL programme focuses on various aspects of personal safety, such as situational awareness, understanding violence dynamics, threat avoidance, threat recognition, threat management, pre-cue indicators, and confident body language profiling. Through these comprehensive modules, women are equipped with the skills and knowledge to navigate potentially dangerous situations confidently.

Many participants have successfully completed the programme, regardless of age, with the youngest student being a testament to the inclusivity of the school.
