About this Event


NEW SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAM!

Get ready!, Tuff Love Self-Defense and Compassion In Oakland are brining another FREE 8-Week Intermediate Self-Defense Workshop Series at Four Elements Fitness gym.
8-WEEK INTERMEDIATE SELF-DEFENSE WORKSHOP SERIES, 5TH EDITION
So you’ve finished our Eight-Week Self-Defense Workshop series, and now you’re looking for the next step on your self-dense and empowerment journey. Our Intermediate Self-Defense Workshop Series is for you! This series is open to all students who have completed the Eight-Week Series with six or more sessions attended. Experienced martial arts practitioners may also be admitted with instructor permission; please email us at [email protected] for inquiries.
The Intermediate Series allows you to review the basics while expanding your knowledge of more in-depth self-defense techniques! Lessons will build on the safety and awareness strategies and physical self-defense principles established in the introductory series, adding increased levels of detail and complexity as well as more advanced scenarios. We will delve into common attack situations such as being grabbed from the back, choked, punched, or pinned on the ground, and learn how to address different contingencies of each one and to group techniques together. These lessons will continue to emphasize principles of leverage, proper body mechanics, timing and energy efficiency to defend against a stronger assailant.
Each class starts with warm-up exercises, followed by instruction in a specific skill with technique practice with a partner. Perfect for those who have completed at least 6 classes of our 8-week self-defense workshop series and want to expand their self-defense training or those who have previous martial arts experience.
