Join us as we sit down with Professor Delphie Dugal-Tessier, an accomplished martial artist and passionate advocate for women's self-defense. With over 15 years of experience in martial arts, her journey began after retiring from the National Mogul Team in search of a new way to stay fit and active. She discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and quickly fell in love with the art, competing across North America and eventually winning the Master World Championship as a purple belt. Today, she holds a black belt in BJJ, awarded by the renowned Marcelo Garcia, as well as a black belt in Self-Defense Jiu-Jitsu. Delphie is a dedicated self-defense instructor, teaching kickboxing, grappling, and self-defense at Silver 7 Martial Arts and Fitness, as well as through community programs. Her mission to empower women stems from a personal experience that underscored the importance of self-defense beyond physical techniques, focusing on mental preparedness and situational awareness. She believes that self-defense is primarily mental and emphasizes teaching women how to avoid dangerous situations while establishing strong personal boundaries. Beyond her martial arts expertise, Delphie holds a PhD in Neuroscience and conducts research on how nutrients can support brain health, integrating a holistic approach to well-being in both body and mind.
