SUMMARY:Self Defense Series
DESCRIPTION:These classes will cover situational awareness\, verbal de-escalation and physical de-escalation.

Each 45-minute lesson will include review of the previous week\, some core strengthening\, some aerobic conditioning\, proper use of hands\, and one-on-one practice of each technique with a partner\, with the goal of developing a “muscle memory” response to various aggressor holds such as front bear hug\, double wrist grasp\, lapel grab. Safety of all participants will be emphasized. \nClass is open to all women and teen girls\, including all identifying as women. Loose\, comfortable clothing for class time is recommended. This class will be a time of confidence boosting and the building of community solidarity. Best outcome if present at all classes\, but not required.
