About Safety Smarts

Safety Smarts was founded by Lisa Boggs with a simple mission: help people dodge danger and defend themselves.

Lisa earned a black belt in karate and became an instructor at Dynamic Karate USA. She went on to open her own studio teaching kickboxing, fitness, and self-defense - with a focus on training women. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and has a background working in social services.

Her book, Safety Smarts: The Ultimate Guide for Dodging Danger & Defending Yourself, covers everything from risk awareness and de-escalation to unarmed combat basics. The Safety Smarts store is an extension of that mission - providing affordable, practical protection tools selected by someone who actually trains people to use them.

What We Believe

Personal safety is about layers. It starts with awareness - trusting your instincts and staying alert. Then risk reduction - locking your doors, staying in well-lit areas, and letting people know your plans. Then de-escalation and creating distance. Self-defense tools are your last line of defense when other options are exhausted.

Every product in our store supports one of these layers.
