Self-defense Workshop: This research-based and trauma-informed workshop includes insights from academic researchers, law enforcement officers, and mental health professionals that will help you be better able to, not only physically defend yourself, but to better predict and prevent violent encounters through a better understanding of predatory behavior.
This two-part workshop begins with a guided conversation that gives insight into an attacker mentality and develops our ability to recognize pre-attack indicators and predatory behaviors.
Second, participants will learn the foundations of self-defense from striking and blocking to defenses for common grabs and attacks, as they learn how to address the physical aspects of an attacker to be better equipped to physically protect themselves.
By taking this workshop, participants will learn how to:
- Predict and prevent violence
- Verbally de-escalate threatening situations
- Combat aggressive behavior
- Use practical self-defense striking and tactics
- Escape holds, grabs, and other scenarios
