This session is for women and girls only .....so bring your mothers, daughters, nieces and girlfriends

As we prepare to celebrate International Women’s Day on Friday March 8, Terry Knight is back for another practical session of women’s self defense.

This session is suitable for all ages; attendance at Terry’s December self-defense session is not required.

Self-defense is about doing what is necessary to get away from an attacker to a place of safety. It is not about beating others up!

Attendees will review:

• Principles of women’s self defense
• hand weapons
• kicks

Attendees will learn & practice:

• Another front choke release
• Releases from arm, body and hair grabs
• More hand/body weapons and vulnerable targets
• Upper/lower blocks to prevent someone from striking you
• More verbal self defense

We will share more empowering success stories

Wear comfortable clothing that you can be active in (e.g. T-shirt, yoga pants, runners). Please bring a pillow or cushion you can hit and kick.

Drop in fee: $7; annual membership available

Refreshments served.
