About our Trainings
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.
