Eugene Trainings - First Sunday of the month 11:00am-12:15pm

Self defense trainings happen in Eugene, OR on the first Sunday of the month from 11:00am-12:15pm at Eugene Aikikai in the Whiteaker neighborhood. These programs are 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.

THESE CLASSES ARE DROP-IN no pre-registration is required.




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.

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.
