Not every self-defense tool requires years of training to be effective — some just require knowing they’re already in your hand. That’s the entire idea behind force multipliers: tools that amplify your ability to protect yourself, regardless of size or strength. Our Empower Her Force multipliers self defense course takes that idea and builds an entire hands-on training program around it, going far beyond the mindset foundation of Empower Her Core into real scenario-based practice.
What Are Force Multipliers in Self-Defense?
A force multiplier is anything that increases the effectiveness of your response in a threatening situation — from everyday objects you already carry to purpose-built self-defense tools. The goal isn’t to rely on any single item, but to know how and when to use what’s actually available to you.
Everyday Force Multipliers You Might Already Carry
Some of the most useful force multipliers self defense are already in your bag or pocket. The course covers how ordinary items like car keys and flashlights can support your safety in a pinch — tools that draw no attention until the moment you actually need them.
Purpose-Built Self-Defense Tools
Beyond everyday items, the course dedicates hands-on training time to tools designed specifically for personal protection.
Pepper Spray
One of the most widely carried personal safety tools, pepper spray is covered in depth — including proper handling and realistic application, not just theory.
Stun Guns
Students get hands-on familiarity with stun guns as part of the course, building comfort and confidence with a tool that’s often carried but rarely practiced with.
Folding Knives
The course also covers folding knives as a force multiplier, with an emphasis on safe handling and realistic, responsible use.
The Byrna Launcher CL
A newer addition to the personal safety toolkit, the Byrna Launcher CL is covered hands-on in the course, giving students direct experience with a tool many have heard of but never actually tried.
Scenario Training: Where Force Multipliers Actually Matter
Tools are only useful if you can access and use them under real pressure. That’s why the course pairs each tool with scenario-based training designed to mirror real-world situations.
Defending From Behind
Students train specifically for being approached or grabbed from behind — one of the most disorienting and common real-world scenarios.
Escaping the Ground
If a situation goes to the ground, students practice getting back to a position of safety and control rather than staying vulnerable.
Breaking Free From Grabs and Holds
The course covers responding to grabs, holds, and restraint attempts, combining physical technique with the force multiplier tools covered earlier in the program.
