Women's Self-Defense: Empowering Safety

Service Description

In the United States, a woman is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds. For many, this reality shapes a constant, vigilant awareness—staying in well-lit, public places, locking doors, sharing locations with loved ones, and always looking over a shoulder. This hypervigilance can take its toll, and it’s empowering to have tools and skills to feel more secure and confident, should the worst ever happen. This 4-week self-defense course equips participants with practical skills for defense, distraction, and disarmament in a range of real-life scenarios. Each class aims to empower you to navigate life with a renewed sense of confidence and peace of mind, offering techniques and strategies that can ease anxiety and help you feel secure in your surroundings.
