Eugene Trainings - RETURNING SOON!

Self defense trainings are on pause as we rebuild our treainers collective. We plan to begin offering trainings at Eugene Aikikai in the Whiteaker neighborhood in early 2025. Our programs are always FREE and open to all of our cis and trans sisters, as well as our non-binary siblings who feel comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women.




Community Training

Our self-defense trainings incorporate a mix of verbal, physical, and awareness skills intended to be accessible regardless of experience or level of fitness. We discuss strategies to stay safe and build a community of resistance to violence. Our trainings are excellent opportunities for people to get together, share experiences, and learn life saving self-defense skills. People from varied backgrounds, age groups, walks of life, and reasons for wanting to train all bring something unique and essential to our trainings.

Trainings are provided for all of our cis and trans sisters, as well as our non-binary siblings who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women.

 

Youth Empowerment

Warrior Sisters and affiliated chapters are sometimes able to offer trainings to youth of all ages.

Training Topics Include:

  • Situational awareness training

  • Discussion of healthy relationships and common ploys

  • Setting verbal boundaries with friends and acquaintances

  • Verbal boundary setting

  • Projecting from the diaphragm and being loud

  • De-escalation

  • Strikes and physical self-defense escapes

Youth trainings are scheduled by request only and can be offered as private one-time trainings or as a series for groups and organizations.

Private and Special Group Training

In addition to offering free open trainings, Warrior Sisters also takes requests for private trainings on a sliding scale donation basis. We prioritize working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and womxn/women communities. We have trained university students, youth groups, business staff, nonprofit organizations, kid's camps, and more. If you are interested in scheduling a training for your group or business, we will work with you on the length and content to fit your specific needs.

We are also available to speak at educational events or workshops on topics including, but not limited to, sexual assault prevention and consent, self defense, dismantling rape culture, and community organizing.
