Warrior Sisters Seminars
In addition to offering free open trainings to people in our communities, Warrior Sisters also take requests for one-time training, special events, and private trainings on a sliding scale donation basis. Our standard one-time training model offers practical skills in both verbal and physical self-defense techniques, and lasts about 90 minutes. However, we can offer shorter or longer programs depending on your needs.
information on Fees
Providing ongoing free trainings is our organizational priority, but this does make it challenging to have our work be sustainable. For private seminars, we ask for donations, especially from organizations, schools, and businesses. Our standard fee for a 90 minute training is $300, however we do offer a sliding scale that allows groups to pay as little as $100 for a 90 minute training (about $33/hr) this cost can be split among attendees rather than paid by the hosting organization. We try our best to never turn down trainings for lack of funds so please reach out to us!
Please note, we prioritize scheduling trainings for historically marginalized communities including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, People of Color, LGBTQ+, women, and rural communities.
Empowerment-Based Self-Defense Seminar
Incorporating awareness, verbal, and basic physical defense techniques, seminars are designed to be accessible to all participants regardless of experience or fitness level. We practice setting boundaries, taking up space, building confidence, and enforcing our boundaries through practical physical defense techniques.
With this model, we have trained members of faith communities, university groups, business and nonprofit staff, women's centers, groups of friends, 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. Available as a one hour, ninety minute, or two hour seminar.
Youth Empowerment Groups
From peer pressure and bullying in school to abuse and violence, too many young people experience trauma and disrespect from an early age. Providing access to comprehensive verbal and physical defense training is one way to combat this reality. Warrior Sisters Youth Empowerment Training teaches participants to be aware of possible unsafe situations, and to respond confidently with strong boundary setting, communication skills, and practical physical defense techniques geared specifically toward youth participants.
Depending on the needs of your group, these trainings can be offered as a one-time seminar or as an ongoing series.
