What to bring & expect:

This Women's self defense class is moderately vigorous. You will learn easy techniques to stop an attacker, even if you are of small stature. We will work in pairs and small groups, so that you can better understand pressure points, balance, etc. 3 martial arts instructors (2 male, 1 female) will be provided and several of our regular (male & female) students will be available as practice partners.

Please bring/wear comfortable workout clothes and shoes. You will be able to change at the facility. Also bring a water bottle or other sports drink and a protein bar.

Bring a positive attitude. The more open you are to new ideas the more you will learn.
