About this Event

S.W.A.P. Meets: Empowering Women, One Meetup at a Time!

Ready to take charge of your life and feel unstoppable? Swift Fit Events presents our newest empowerment series: S.W.A.P. Meets!
What is a S.W.A.P. Meet? It is a monthly event, hosted by Candace Kief of Swift Fit Events, where women can come together to share stories, learn new self-defense techniques, and discover ways to live fearlessly by Staying Watchful, Aware, and Prepared (S.W.A.P.)! Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, we’ve got something for everyone!

Each month, we will feature a chance to surround yourself with community, learn self-defense tips and tricks, be inspired by guest speakers, and more. It’s all about building confidence, strength, and knowledge so you can live your life without fear—and have fun while doing it! We understand this is taking place during dinner time, so we will have light bites and beverages, but you can absolutely feel free to bring your own along with you. We just want you to be comfortable!

For our Kick Off event, we will be featuring basic self defense skills for you to learn courtesy of Austin Women's Boxing Club.
Hear the inspiration of SWAP Meets, with Candace Kief, and connect with the crowd in an intimate, safe way, learning ways to stay safe, feel safe, and know how to stay prepared for the unexpected. We will also be featuring our keynote speaker, Julia, the owner of Austin Women's Boxing Club, our April featured Sponsor. Julia has been involved in boxing and martial arts for about 30 years, teaches self-defense and is a total bad*ss! She's a 4th degree black belt in Kajukenbo, the first female to achieve USA Boxing's Gold Level Coaching Certification, and has coached boxers in national tournaments including the 2024 Olympic Team Trials. You do not want to miss this!


What You’ll Get at Every S.W.A.P. Meet:
  • Exciting Self-Defense Demos: Learn easy-to-remember techniques anyone can do, no matter your size or strength.
  • Inspiring Guest Speakers: Hear from incredible women who share their journeys and tips for living with confidence.
  • Empowering Stories & Discussions: Connect with others and be inspired by stories of resilience and strength.
  • A Welcoming Community: Meet new friends, share laughs, and build lasting connections with women who’ve got your back.
