Program Description

Event Details

Especially for women, knowing some basics of self-defense is important. Instructors from Club Kung Fu will lead a woman-focused self-defense workshop, organized into three phases:

1 - Verbal, visual, and psychological: to set up boundaries and to assess the threat

2 – Strikes: if physical persuasion is necessary,  the best way to use palms, elbows, and knees

3 - Situation defense: defense against chokes, grabs, and mounts

Participants should come dressed comfortably or in attire normally worn going about their daily business.  This class is designed for adults. There is a teen version of the class on 6/27. 

The goal is to get you home safe.
