As the war in Israel continues, we recognize the importance of having a safe space to gather and would like to invite our community to our upcoming events.

Gain necessary skills in self defense and situational awareness in this three-part series.

Preparing the Mind and Body to Walk in Safety

Ninety percent of all self defense is proactive. Therefore, this seminar will be both lecture and hands-on training. There will be a PowerPoint presentation on eliminating the elements that draw the attention of a would-be assailant. Hands-on training will consist of defenses against common attacks perpetrated on women. You will learn how to use your body as a weapon against vulnerable areas to attack an assailant.

Below is the full schedule with times and dates.
