Due to current health concerns, this seminar will be rescheduled. Stay tuned for details to be announced.

This seminar is an introduction to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a perfect art for self protection and defense. Whether on a first date or in the face of a stranger, get some practice in how to use effective physical resistance to unwanted contact and the threat of rape.

This seminar will give 13-18 year olds a platform to navigate unwanted physical contact. They will:

1. Rehearse how to communicate assertively under pressure.

2. Practice how to use effective physical resistance when verbal communication doesn't resolve a conflict that involves physical contact- basic escapes, ground fighting/Jiu Jitsu techniques.

3. Identify mental and emotional aspects of forceful resistance to attack.

Empowering oneself with this type of seminar has shown to increase confidence, reduce risk of future assault/rape, and aid in recovery from previous assault. Teacher and curriculum are trauma sensitive and informed. Although the content is serious, we will train in a manner that is playful, supportive, and informative.

Participants can refresh skills anytime by visiting regularly scheduled classes.
