Everyone needs the tools and skills to avoid risky situations and defend themselves if they need to do so. In this class, you will learn and practice simply but effective moves that are proven to work and can be adapted to any body type and athletic ability. We will also cover some de-escalation and boundary setting exercises and combine them with strikes and counter-attacks to prepare you to protect yourself when you are walking through the world.
