In todays's social climate, it's more important than ever to know how to defend yourself. One in four women becomes the victim of violence. It's always better to have self defense skills and not need them than to need them and not have them.

​

Join Megan Smith, a 5th degree belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, with 25 years of experience. She had been teaching self defense classes specifically for 10 years and her partner at The Folded Leaf from 12-2pm on the days above for a 3 part women's self defense series. In this class we will cover how to prevent an attack and keep yourself safe. Then we'll move on to cover how to deal with an attack if it does occur. i'll demonstrate, and we'll practice basic striking and joint locks, and discuss vital target areas. We will then move on to how to use those strikes and joint locks to defend yourself in common attack scenarios. There will also be time for questions about attack scenarios that you are concerned about or may have been in yourself.

​

Knowing that you can defend yourself if necessary can make daily life less scary. Self defense is a valuable skill that could one day be very important.
