**May class is FULL. **

The next 5 Week Series is set for Tuesdays in August.

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 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm each week.

• Tuesday, May 2: THINK — Awareness, Intuition, and Attitude

• Tuesday, May 9: YELL — Language, Tone, and Posture

• Tuesday, May 16: RUN — Assessing Risk and Escaping from Danger

• Tuesday, May 23: FIGHT — Physical Techniques for Self-Defense

• Tuesday, May 30: TELL — Getting Help for Yourself or Others Who’ve Experienced Violence
