About this Event

Bond, build confidence, and discover your strength together. Join us for an unforgettable mother-son experience led by Karina Munoz Benalcazar — black belt and part of the of the Women Who Warrior Project — where you'll learn real self-defense skills in an uplifting, empowering environment.

This hands-on workshop includes:

  • An empowerment workshop
  • Practical self-defense skills you can use in real life
  • A board breaking experience

This is more than a class, it's a chance for generational connection and shared strength. We welcome mothers and sons to join us for an evening of connection and harnessing focused energy to achieve your power. No equipment needed!

We are guiding boys to move through the world with awareness, confidence, and quiet strength to protect themselves- while seeing their mothers as strong, capable and empowered women.

What to wear: Sneakers and athleisure clothing so you can move freely and comfortably. Please bring a water bottle.

Come ready to move, laugh, connect, and leave feeling stronger than when you walked in.
