Teen Empowerment Self-Defense Series

Hey there, teens! Ready to boost your confidence and learn some badass self-defense moves? Join us at Flow Martial Arts for our Teen Empowerment Self-Defense Series! Located in the heart of Vancouver, BC, Canada, this in-person event will teach you how to stay safe and kick some serious butt. Don't miss out on this opportunity to empower yourself and have fun while doing it.

Who This Is For:
This series is for female-identifying and non-binary teens (ages 13-19) who want to feel more confident and secure in their ability to defend themselves. We welcome all teens, regardless of experience level, to join us in this empowering experience.

What You'll Learn:
Join us for a dynamic exploration of empowerment self-defense with physical techniques based on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The series focuses on three key areas:

• Awareness: Understanding your surroundings and potential threats.
• Avoidance: Strategies to prevent conflict before it escalates.
• Action: Defensive techniques to protect yourself if avoidance is not possible.

Beyond physical techniques, we’ll dive into personal empowerment, relationship skills, and the crucial role of mental resilience in self-defense situations and everyday life.

Our three-part series is packed with interactive, hands-on activities including:

• Role-playing real-life scenarios
• Group discussions on personal safety and empowerment
• Mindfulness exercises
• Engaging games
• Intensive physical training

Sessions are led by experienced facilitators committed to creating a supportive and safe environment where all participants can learn and grow.
