***THE JANUARY GROUP IS NOW CLOSED.***

Please check back later or join our mailing list to be notified about the next series.

Each session in this 5-week series (10 total hours of training), we’ll deeply explore one of the five safety action principles of Empowerment Self-Defense: Think, Yell, Run, Fight, Tell. In addition to physical techniques (including strikes, kicks, and releases from grabs and pins), we’ll work on situational awareness, recognizing the warning signs of violence, and personal boundary setting and enforcement. 

Open to all people ages 12+. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a water bottle.

Sessions run from 6 pm to 8 pm each week.

  • Monday, January 3: THINK — Awareness, Intuition, and Attitude

  • Monday, January 10: YELL — Language, Tone, and Posture

  • Monday, January 17: RUN — Assessing Risk and Escaping from Danger
