Seminar Synopsis:

The seminar will provide an introduction to basic techniques for self-defense and awareness. The student will have opportunities to participate and practice with others in a safe and supportive group environment.

Our seminar is unique. It allows participants to practice full-force self-defense on actual people. Our club members put on full protective gear and let participants really hit them. Participants see what a real life situation is like and that they have the strength to fight back.

Goals of the Seminar:

To give the student a framework to understand better ways for self protection and defense.

Who Should Come

Any and all women (of any age) without prior martial arts experience are welcome to come!
