This is a third party event organized by our friends.
Two hours of hands-on education. Learn science-based methods for reliable escapes and gain valuable insights on how self defense works.
TOPICS COVERED:
ESCAPES FROM GRABS
• Learn the anatomy of grabs
• Understand how to apply leverage for reliable escapes
• Awareness & distancing to avoid grabs altogether
IMPROVISED TOOLS & WEAPON AWARENESS
• Learn to recognize what can be used as a "weapon," and improvise with what you normally carry
• Basic knife familiarity and handling principles
• How to avoid weapon strikes when you are unarmed
THE ROLE OF STRIKING
• Striking alone is not likely to be enough; it must be paired with structural manipulation
• If you must strike, do it ergonomically without self-injury
• Learn to unbalance, disrupt, and control an attacker—giving you time to get help or gain distance
STATISTICS & PSYCHOLOGY
• Statistics and facts that can help frame your perspective
• Psychological aspects of attacks on women
This workshop is appropriate for women of all ages, and you do not have to be tough, strong, or a "fighter" to come and learn essential skills.
