Empowerment Self Defense 101
This class introduces students to IMPACT Bay Area’s approach to personal safety. We think of self-defense as a spectrum that starts with the first feelings in your body when you notice a situation might not be safe, through physical self-defense if necessary, all the way to what you can do to take care of yourself after something happens. Learn to recognize and honor your own intuition, develop assertive body language and powerful verbal skills, and practice simple and effective physical strike techniques! Open to all genders ages 16+.
In this class you will:
Learn to listen to your inner alarm bells, practice threat assessment and use assertive body language
Practice “self-defense voice," using language that can alert yourself, the attacker and bystanders
Practice setting boundaries through internal boundary recognition, body language and the use of verbal skills
Learn two powerful physical strikes two the face and groin
Understand the importance of adrenaline management and early boundary setting in both acquaintance and stranger interactions
FREE Pre-registration requested, but walk-ins welcome!
