Read why Bullet Proof Babes exists and how we're empowering women with real-world self-defense skills.
WHY WE EXIST
BULLET PROOF BABES
Bullet Proof Babes LLC was founded in 2020 to redefine personal safety. Traditional self-defense often focuses on combat skills – valuable, but not always practical for everyone. The truth is, violence is the final step in a crime, not the beginning. Criminals follow a predictable formula: they observe, orient, decide, and act.
Our courses teach you how to disrupt the process at every stage, stopping crime before it turns violent. Unlike typical self-defense classes, we focus on prevention – because the best self-defense is never being targeted in the first place. Take control of your safety and avoid becoming a statistic.
Meet the Founder
Dr. Lonna Denny, D.C.
Meet Dr. Lonna Denny DC — a specialist in behavioral self-defense, combining real-world experience with the science of human behavior to help people stay safe before danger ever begins. With a background in Krav Maga, neurolinguistic programming, and behavioral sciences, Dr. Denny has evolved her approach beyond physical tactics. She now focuses on the patterns, signals, and psychological dynamics that determine who becomes a target… and who doesn’t. As the founder of Bullet Proof Babes LLC, she equips women with the mental and verbal strategies to recognize threats early, set uncompromising boundaries, and move through the world with clarity and control. Dr. Denny is also the creator of a rapidly growing YouTube channel and the author of two eBooks on personal safety, where she breaks down real-world scenarios into practical, immediately usable tools. Her work is rooted in one core belief: your best defense starts long before a physical confrontation.
Dr. Denny's passion for women empowerment
Dr. Denny’s passion lies in teaching women the art of self-defense, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to navigate the challenges of life.
As a certified life coach, she possesses the tools to guide women on a journey toward self-discovery and empowerment – verbally, mentally, and physically.
In addition to martial arts, she has studied the realms of manipulation, influence, and neurolinguistic programming, enriching her toolkit for personal growth and self-protection.
