April Weekend Intensive 12-hour Self-Defense Course for Women and Girls
Friday, April 21 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Saturday, April 22 1:30 -6:00 PM
Sunday, April 23 1:30 - 6:00 PM
One weekend can change your life. This in-depth course is 12 hours over three days (Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoon). Each day, students have the opportunity to practice physical skills, awareness skills, verbal skills, and social skills that will enhance their safety in a variety of situations. We use the Five Fingers of Self-Defense (Think, Yell, Run, Fight, and Tell) to teach people how to accurately assess their risk and respond to violence before it escalates, while also teaching physical techniques to defend against direct physical and sexual assault. Classes are a mix of group discussion, role plays, and physical drills and activities. Our goal is to reduce both the prevalence and the harm of violence. Open to women and girls. Transwomen and genderqueer female-identified people welcome.
