What
This is a self defense workshop that teaches psychological tools to manage your body's natural fight or flight response as well as physical techniques to protect yourself against a threat.
If a person has experienced domestic violence or other forms of abuse and trauma, it is common for the body & mind to have an overactive sympathetic nervous system response (fight or flight) when there is a conflict. This response can cause a wide array of symptoms, including panic attacks, shutting down (freezing), and loss of concentration. It can be difficult to move through life with a high sensitivity to triggers.
The first half of the workshop will focus on what to do when you are triggered in daily life. In the second half, we will practice physical self defense techniques including balance, escapes, and efficient striking.
This is a beginner class open to adults of any physical fitness level.…
