Self-Defense Workshop Winter 17

These 3 hour self-defense workshops will focus on creating a space to allow participants to empower themselves by learning universally effective martial arts techniques. While each workshop will focus primarily on how to defend from attacks that are common in hate crimes, such as shoves, multiple strikes to the face, and scarf/turban grabbing, all participants hoping to learn self-defense techniques are welcome. Come dressed in your regular clothing, not loose fitting attire!
