The Self-Defense Basics Workshop gives women a practical, beginner-friendly introduction to personal safety and physical self-defense.
In three hands-on hours, you will learn how to recognize danger, use your body and voice with confidence, strike vulnerable targets, escape common grabs, and create the opportunity to safely get away.
Advance registration is required. Space is limited.
