EmpowerHer: Women's Self Defense Workshop & Fundraiser

EmpowerHer Women's Self-Defense Seminar & Fundraiser

Join us at Epiphany School for an inspiring women’s self-defense seminar led by our head women's coach and girls from Level Ground’s Student Trainer Program. Participants will learn practical movements to defend themselves in a variety of scenarios while connecting with a supportive community of women. After class, enjoy refreshments and conversation.

This special fundraiser benefits girls at Level Ground. Proceeds directly support opportunities to cultivate skills for them to lead on the mat, in the classroom, in the workplace, and in their communities. Don’t miss this chance to feel stronger, be empowered, and give back!

Can't attend but want to support our girls? You can donate here or select a donation option in the Ticket Section!

LG Girls have had the opportunity to train their peers, community adults, and most recently, Mayor Michelle Wu!

✨ A kickoff visit from Mayor Michelle Wu and Councilman John FitzGerald
🥋 A seminar led by 26-time UFC veteran Joe Lauzon

Throughout the summer, Student Trainers participated in daily modules focused on:
