Women's Only Self-Defense - 8/5 and 8/12

Service Description

Join us for one or both night's of this women's only personal safety and self-defense course (Wednesdays, 8/5 and 8/12 from 7-8:30pm). This course weaves together the empowering principles of martial arts and yoga to create a practical, accessible self-defense experience designed specifically for women. Through hands-on practice, you’ll learn targeted strikes, instinctive reactions, and joint manipulation techniques, building strength and skill in a supportive environment. In addition to learning these physical skills, we also explore the fact that self-defense usually happens before anyone ever lays a hand on you. As such, we dedicate time towards: *Trusting and using intuition/gut to make decisions *Practicing mindset shifts and verbal boundary-setting *Exploring various boundary-upholding scenarios *Increasing situational awareness *Learning to identify pre-incident indicators We’ll close the session with a short grounding yoga sequence to regulate the nervous system, integrate what you've learned, and leave you feeling calm, centered, and strong. Limited spaces available, no experience necessary! **If you’re able to participate in both days, please be sure to add the 2nd day to your registration at checkout. If you’re only able to attend one night, indicate the specific date you’ll be attending when you register so I know when to expect you! Location: 970 Harris Rd, Suite 2B, Grayslake IL
