Join us for a 3 hour Self-Defense Seminar that will focus on creating a space to allow its participants to empower themselves by learning universally effective martial arts techniques.

The seminar will focus primarily on how to defend from attacks that are common in Islamaphobic harassment, such as shoves, strikes to the face, and scarf grabbing. Come dressed in your regular clothing not loose gym outfits. This event is open to people of all gender identities.
