WORKSHOPS
Young Women and Adult Women's Self-Defense
We welcome requests for workshops and trainings for community groups, groups of friends, organizations and businesses!
We provide workshops to groups of women and girls that vary in length and content, depending on your needs. We combine the Self-Defense from the Inside Out curriculum, which internally empowers women and girls to break down any barriers they have to self-protection, and also physical strategies and verbal strategies.
We teach a combination of verbal, mental and physical skills for self-defense and safety:
-- Learning how to yell and use confident body language
--Gaining self-worth and value for our physical and mental abilities
-- Learning about the dynamics and realities of violence against women (and girls)
-- Working to undo victim-blaming myths and counteract self-blame about sexual violence
-- How to use physical strikes and other strategies to disable an attacker
-- How to use intuition, awareness and active thinking for self-protection
-- How to use assertive communication when we are uncomfortable or threatened
