Welcome to Episode 1 of the Women’s Self Defense Championship (WSDC) – a unique reality competition where four contestants from different backgrounds face realistic self-defense scenarios inspired by real-life encounters.
Throughout the championship, the contestants are challenged physically and mentally while being evaluated by expert judges on their awareness, decision-making, technique, and ability to protect themselves under pressure. Every scenario is an opportunity to learn, improve, and earn points toward becoming the first-ever Women’s Self Defense Champion.
This isn’t about who can fight the hardest – it’s about making the right decisions when it matters most.
Featuring:
• April Frey – Judo black belt
• Lindsey Pain – MMA fighter
• Xenia Rooders – self defense expert
• Miglė Kuliesaite – scientist / regular person
Expert judges:
• Amber Hoover
• Petr Cihelník

If y'all didn't already know. Rokas has a zombie survival show coming out too! I don't even know what the hell that means exactly. But Icy Mike is in it, season 1 vibes ++++. Can't freaking wait. I think it's called the ZSChallenge? Zombie Survival Challenge. Keep your eyes peeled for that one!
The previous seasons were great but the scenarios (while possible) seem like fantasy now. This had to have been a hard one to put together. I hope Lindsay gets to blast a guy in the face.
Overjoyed to see this made it into the world! Thank you for starting an important discussion, Rokas – the men in the comments who have realized the value of this series is proof enough. So excited to see the rest of the season, and hoping to have my reaction series up after episode 2 🙇🏻♀️
Patreon here I come! ( Join the patreon to see other episodes now instead of waiting. Plus. I mean look at this massive undertaking these people do. Absolutely worth it)
I wanna share a video I saw on an international channel where they tested defenses from sexual assault. The way they approached the simulation is with the guy starting on top like here but the goal being to unbutton a shirt they put over her. It's a lot of buttons and ripping buttons will not count so it creates a very realistic tension between the attacker and attacked (obviously shes trying her best to stop it).
Was hard to watch but I feel the closer the training is to reality the better the outcome of training!
Peace!
P.S. also a literal phd scientist is NOT a regular human! XD

That's mandatory for every self defense coach, so much to learn, the season is going to be epic
Migle is going to be the kitty sitting on the demon lord throne, it's her destiny
I will teach my daughter a martial art for sure…..
Man, I'm torn who I want to win this Rokas… Lindsey since she's from England or April since I'm a judoka also.
so excited for the rest of this season!
As a protector of 7 women this one hit hard. Need to share this to everyone!
