Each week in this 5-week series (5 total hours of training), we’ll explore the safety action principles of Empowerment Self-Defense: Think, Yell, Run, Fight, Tell. In addition to physical techniques (including strikes, kicks, and releases from grabs and pins), we’ll work on situational awareness, recognizing the warning signs of violence, and personal boundary setting and enforcement.

Sundays, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. eastern time.

• August 23: Think

• August 30: Yell

• September 6: Run

• September 13: Fight

• September 20: Tell

This class will be taught through the Zoom platform and is a “pay what you want/pay what you can/pay nothing” workshop. Wear comfortable clothes and try to find a space where you have a little room to move.
