POWwomen self defense

Wednesday, May 8th from 7pm to 9pm, $30

This workshop will provide an overview of Krav Maga fundamentals. It will immediately address most women’s fears about being a victim. From there, this workshop will quickly move into how to fight back on the street. It will integrate training drills into various street situations and cover several common attacks on the street. Although this workshop is not intended to emphasize the conditioning elements integral to a Krav Maga training program, it will be a physical workout. The goal of the workshop is to build overall awareness through Krav Maga training. This 2 hour workshop will also apply some of our kicks to situations when you are with your children or loved ones. This is going to be a dynamic training experience and each participant will leave understanding why Krav Maga is the most effective reality based self-defense system. This workshop requires a 10 person minimum. Please bring energy drinks, snacks, and other fuel for your body. Wear long pants, bring a long sleeve t-shirt. Wraps will be required. If you do not own these items you may purchase your own from our Proshop. We will loan out gloves, if necessary in the training.
