In the United States, a woman is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds. For many, this reality shapes a constant, vigilant awareness—staying in well-lit, public places, locking doors, sharing locations with loved ones, and always looking over a shoulder. This hypervigilance can take its toll, and it’s empowering to have tools and skills to feel more secure and confident, should the worst ever happen.
This 4-week self-defense course equips participants with practical skills for defense, distraction, and disarmament in a range of real-life scenarios. Each class aims to empower you to navigate life with a renewed sense of confidence and peace of mind, offering techniques and strategies that can ease anxiety and help you feel secure in your surroundings.
About the Instructor:
Bert Campbell, a 2nd-degree black belt in Shodokan karate, brings over 16 years of experience training under the Zen Do Kai system in New York, along with six years of club management experience. Bert has trained alongside renowned martial artists Relson Gracie, Kurt Pellegrino, and Carlos Newton, and his instruction style is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all levels.
Whether you’re new to martial arts or seeking to build on prior experience, this course offers an opportunity to gain practical self-defense skills and reclaim a sense of security. Join us to discover empowering techniques for navigating an ever-changing world with strength and resilience.
