Each session in this 5-week series (10 total hours of training), we’ll deeply explore one of the five safety action principles of Empowerment Self-Defense: Think, Yell, Run, Fight, Tell. In addition to physical techniques (including strikes, kicks, and releases from grabs and pins), we’ll work on situational awareness, recognizing the warning signs of violence, and personal boundary setting and enforcement.
Open to all people ages 12+. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a water bottle.
Sessions run from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm each week.
