Claudia developed a model of self defence which made sense for women - combining physical skills and confidence with an intelligent assessment of risk and what might work. I know countless women who have been on her courses and came out stronger, energised and empowered. I knew Claudia through various (sometimes tedious) inter-agency meetings. I didn't know her well, but always listened hard when she spoke as she was always worth listening to. Her voice and her passion will be much missed, but her legacy will live on.
