About this Event
WenDo Women NY is thrilled to offer an amazing Saturday of self defense for those who live and identify as women/girls (trans and cis) or AFAB Enby (10+). We'll be creating space to connect with others and celebrate our power through a WenDo Women's Self Defense Basic Course.
This is a Full Day Course being held on Saturday, June 6th from 9am-4:30pm with a lunch break.
In an effort to welcome women of all circumstances, we are proud to offer a limited number of "Pay What You Can" tickets for this event. These are available as self-determined need and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
