NEW AGE KNOCKOUT
WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF SELF DEFENSE
New Age Knockout is bringing personal safety into a new era that is for women by women
We believe that personal safety begins with developing strong boundaries that can then be confidently enforced when faced with a threat. This includes using your voice as a tool, developing situational awareness and challenging the systems that have made women believe that they are not worthy of being protected. With these foundations in place, women feel more secure combating a physical threat with the skills they have acquired through our training.
Women of all ages and orientations deserve the right to navigate this world with the confidence and security that comes with knowing how to protect themselves.
FOUNDER
Christina is a certified Personal Safety Coach, Speaker and Comedian based in Denver, CO.
​
She was initially drawn to the discipline of self-defense after she started standup comedy. She knew that the scene could feel safer for female comedians and enlisted the expertise of Rachel Mahloch, founder of Battle Woman, to organize self defense workshops for her and her peers. The goal was to arm performers with the tools—both physical and verbal—to navigate and de-escalate unsafe situations, whether on stage or off. Christina was amazed by the impact of this workshop and chose to train to be an instructor herself.
Christina uses her personal story of surviving sexual abuse and navigating anxiety and body dysmorphia to influence her teaching style. Her unique combination of empathy and humor creates a safe and approachable space to learn life saving skills.

Christina also holds a BA in Sociology from the University of New Hampshire and a Masters of Science degree in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University.
