Hips n Clips - All Things Women's Self Defense

Hips n Clips is all about community, confidence, education, friendship, and support.

Hello!

Hips n Clips - where you always have a place!

I'm Laura Ruoff, owner of Hips n Clips Women's Self-Defense. My journey started in spring of 2023 when I learned how to shoot and instantly fell in love with it! Many women I talk to express their interest in learning about firearms and/or various forms of self-defense, but don't know where to start. I've become passionate about ALL things women's self-defense and making it available to others.

Hips n Clips offers a variety of group classes & private lessons and is all about having fun while building confidence in various skills. I am a USCCA Certified Pistol Instructor, USCCA Certified Range Safety Officer, and hold an enhanced concealed carry permit.

Reviews

Today I truly learned the value of what Hips n Clips offers because I benefited from Laura teaching me gun safety, and how to hold, load, and shoot my guns which is something I hadn't even considered I may feel comfortable with or about. I liked the semi-automatic best. Having her there coaching me and encouraging me made me feel great! She told me she wants to help women increase their confidence around firearms and self defense and now I really get it! Thank you Laura!
