Level I Workshop: The 2.5-Hour Introductory Women’s Empowerment Self-Defense Program
This beginner workshop utilizes both large and small group instruction. By adhering to a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio, The Safety Team’s trauma-informed trainings focus on boundary setting, affirmative consent, and relevant sexual assault information, as well as the mental and physical skills of Empowerment Self-Defense. The overarching goal of these large-group sessions is to help women discover their collective voice, address victim-blaming by redirecting the responsibility for all assaults on to the perpetrators, improve women’s sense of power and control, and, as a result, reduce the likelihood of sexual assault and violence.

Proof of vaccination required for all participants.  

Open to women/girls (including cis, trans, non-binary) ages 14+.  Participants ages 12 and 13 welcome with an enrolled and participating  parent/guardian.  

All workshop fees are non-refundable and not transferable.  All of our classes are LGBTQ friendly.
