WenDo Women NY is thrilled to offer an amazing evening for women and girls (10+) in Trumansburg, NY! We'll be creating space to connect with others and celebrate our power through a WenDo Women's Self Defense Introductory Course.

Message from WenDo Women's Self Defense Instructor, Kristi Taylor:

Wen-Do Women's Self Defense is Canada‘s oldest women’s self-defense program designed and taught by women for women/girls 10+ and I'm thrilled to be bringing it to the Troy Community! WenDo Programs are presented from a feminist, anti-oppression and empowerment framework. Techniques are designed for women of all ages, fitness levels, body types, and abilities including women or girls who use assistive devices. Courses offer a combination of discussion, with practical physical skills resulting in an integration of mental and physical preparedness while expressly rejecting victim blaming or "rule setting".

This introductory course will include:

• Discussion designed to challenge the myths and stereotypes on the capabilities of women,
• Verbal self defense
• Various physical self defense strategies including strikes with our hands and feet,
• Select body hold releases and blocks
