About this Event
This hands-on women’s self-defense seminar is built around practical techniques for close-contact situations. You’ll learn footwork to move off line and create distance, protective reactions to incoming pressure, and grip breaks for common grabs.
We’ll practice simple strikes on pads to create an opening, then work on getting free and moving toward safety. Partner drills will connect each stage into a sequence: evade the threat, react, counter, and escape.
Training is coached and controlled, with options to adjust intensity and take breaks.
No martial arts experience is needed, and all fitness levels are welcome to participate. Come ready to move, practice, and leave with techniques you can remember.
This seminar focuses on practical action, not choreography. You’ll train skills for wrist grabs, close contact, and creating space when someone gets too close. Wear workout clothes and bring water to class.
