Empowerment Self Defense Workshop for Women, Non-Binary, and LGBTQ+ Folx

Come learn how to defend yourself using verbal and physical skills, in a safe and supportive environment.
In this three hour workshop, we will learn the foundations of self defense. This includes situational awareness, body language, verbal boundary setting, and physical defense. We will put our new skills to full force practice on a padded instructor, in a dynamic and supportive environment.
