Women's Self-Defense Seminar

Forget polite. Forget passive. It’s time to own the room and your safety.
Most women are taught to avoid conflict. We are teaching you how to end it. Led by Vanessa Sims—a certified self-defense instructor with nearly a decade of Jiu-Jitsu experience—this intensive two-hour seminar strips away the fluff and focuses on what actually works in the real world.
We aren't just teaching you how to escape a hold; we are rewiring how you carry yourself. As Vanessa puts it: "I want all women to feel like they are bad asses. I love teaching self-defense."
The Bones:
What You'll Learn: Escapes from common grabs and holds, hyper-awareness strategies, and brutally simple, effective techniques to neutralize a threat.
Who It’s For: Women ages 15 and up. Zero prior experience required. Complete beginners are welcome and expected.
What to Bring: Gym gear, a water bottle, and a relentless attitude.
The Investment: $30.
The Catch:
Precision requires attention. We are capping this room at strictly 20 spots.
Reserve your spot on the mat before the door closes. https://soillsyndicate.pushpress.com/landing/events/cal-d464a501d1324d9c9d1a683af0ae/login
