Recognise risks, identify warning signs and explore preventive behaviour.
GUEST · STAT INSTRUCTOR
Sophie
Picoto.
Women’s empowerment.
Personal safety. Self-esteem.
A STAT instructor and the creator of PinkBelt, Sophie Picoto works on confidence, autonomy and the ability to respond to risk — with prevention, assertiveness and guided practice.
THE FEATURED EXPERIENCE
PinkBelt.
Confidence you can practise.
A personal safety and self-defence workshop developed for women. The starting point is not fighting: it is recognising risk, setting boundaries and making decisions with greater confidence.
Open to women regardless of fitness level or previous martial arts experience. The approach is adapted to the participants.
Mental Empowerment
Work on confidence, assertiveness, managing fear and decision-making.
Physical Defence
Practise self-defence techniques with an emphasis on creating opportunities to escape.
Participation respects each person’s boundaries. No workshop can guarantee protection in every situation; responsibility for violence always lies with the person who commits it.
BEHIND THE PRACTICE
An approach grounded
in practice.
Sophie combines her work as a STAT instructor with training in psychology and experience in the field of violence against women. Her focus is to help participants recognise their inner strength and develop confidence.
OTHER PROGRAMMES
Different audiences.
The same care.
Alongside PinkBelt, Sophie’s work includes formats adapted to families, teenagers and institutional settings.
Self-defence for Mothers and Children
A shared learning experience focused on safety, trust and family communication. Saying no, setting boundaries, asking for help and age-appropriate self-protection are central to the programme.
Teen Krav Insanity
Personal safety for teenagers, with a focus on nights out, parties and social settings: risk awareness, peer pressure, conflict management and conscious decisions. This programme has also been presented in Ireland.
My body, my rules
A seminar developed in coordination with SCML to support adolescent girls in or formerly in care. It focuses on an empowered self-image, everyday safety and confidence.
