💥 Pay-What-You-Can Women’s Self-Defense Seminar! 💥
Sunday, November 16 | 11:30 AM–1:30 PM

Please note this is a change from the original schedule; we’ve shortened our usual four-hour seminar that was at a higher price point into a focused two-hour version that keeps all the meat and potatoes and most important takeaways. You’ll get 30–45 minutes of practical discussion and mindset work, followed by about an hour of hands-on training.

💸 Pay-What-You-Can (starting at $10), full price for the 2 hr seminar, normally $59.
We know times are uncertain, and we don’t want anyone missing out on essential self-defense skills. No one turned away.

Bring a friend, connect, laugh, and learn something that truly matters.

A portion of the proceeds will go toward our fund supporting self-defense training for women and girls, including an all-girls school in India and a group of women with disabilities in Trinidad and Tobago.

Spots are limited, grab yours and join us for a morning of strength, connection, and fun.

We love seeing strong girls grow into strong women, not just through moments of courage, but through consistent practice.

Our girls self-defense programs and quarterly seminars are designed to build confidence, awareness, and real-world skills that last.

If you’re looking for regular training opportunities, check out our partner gym, for ongoing classes and youth programs that keep that strength growing.

The things you’ve learned to do without thinking, showing up, holding it together, finding a way through ….they’re not small! They’re the evidence of everything you’ve overcome

Just because it’s familiar doesn’t mean it isn’t brave. Sometimes strength gets quiet when it’s been practiced for a long time. And, it’s still there, steady as ever.

is about noticing that kind of strength, the kind you stop seeing because it’s already part of you.

For all the strong ghouls (and guys) out there👻, a few reminders to keep the night fun and safe!
Stay spooky, stay smart, stay . 🖤

Before this clip, we worked on de-escalation using both high and low fences depending on the scenario, and how to use your hands and voice to create space and set boundaries. Universally, hands up says stop!

From a training standpoint, especially when someone is learning for the first time, creating good habits early is key. Keeping your hands in your workspace allows you to protect your head, create frames, and respond quickly, whether that means defending or disrupting.

When someone decides you’re the villain, logic won’t save you. Both parties must value clarity over agreement for this to happen. Once someone decides and then tells others you are the villain in their story, they are telling you, they don’t want to understand you.
They’re trying to protect a version of the story that makes them feel right, safe and protects their ego.
That’s what being committed to confusion looks like.
You can’t fix a story you didn’t write…. But you can stop auditioning for the role you never wanted.
