This 3-hour boundary setting, personal safety and self defense class will teach you the basics— and add to existing skills for your personal empowerment. This workshop will include information about, and practice with, skills on mental preparedness, verbal assertiveness and physical self protection. This workshop is open to female identifying persons age 13 and over.
This class is being taught by Heidi Sproull. Heidi is a black belt in Jiu Jitzu and a brown belt in Judo, with 30 years of experience teaching these skills. She is also a trauma informed psychotherapist and certified sex therapist and educator.
Verbal Skills:
Use your voice effectively
Effectively use deescalation techniques
Employ assertive, direct language
Mental Skills:
Cultivate self-confidence and hone personal power
Set Boundaries
Use counter strategies for attacker mentality
Physical Skills:
All physical skills are carefully selected to be usable by a smaller, less strong defender against a larger, stronger attacker.
Most skills can be modified for differing ability levels.
We ran this class last year and everyone raved about how amazing it was and how much they learned.
