Chocolate and Chokes | Women's Self Defense Workshop

Chocolate & Chokes is a lighthearted take on a very serious subject: personal safety.
Hosted on Valentine’s Day, this free women’s self-defense workshop blends practical, real-world self-defense training with a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere—and yes, a little chocolate to sweeten the experience.
During this 90-minute session, participants will learn:
Simple, effective self-defense strategies designed for real situations
How to create space, escape danger, and regain control
Beginner-friendly techniques using leverage and positioning rather than strength
Confidence-building mindset skills to stay calm and decisive under pressure
No prior martial arts experience is required. This workshop is designed for beginners and focuses on empowerment, awareness, and capability, not intimidation.
Whether you come with friends, a daughter, or on your own, Chocolate & Chokes is about celebrating self-respect, confidence, and the ability to protect yourself—because the best Valentine’s gift is feeling strong in your own skin.
Chocolate will be provided. Courage is optional—but it tends to show up anyway.
