This two day course offers women and women identified people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to practice easy to learn, easy to remember physical and verbal techniques.
Included in this program are responses to the most common assaults on girls and women such as wrist and arm holds, choke and body holds, weapons defense, ground and bed defense and gang and swarming situations. We include self defence situations related to outdoors, public transit, private vehicles, home, work and school safety.
In an environment that recognizes and celebrates our diversity, we talk about violence against women and children breaking down the myths of who, where, why assault, harassment and abuse happens. We work to increase our Awareness and confidence to promote Avoidance and Action when needed.
