Empower: Modern Self-Defense

British suffragettes popularized the practice of jiu-jitsu to defend themselves against physical confrontations in their fight for voting rights. Today, people continue to practice martial arts to protect themselves.

Grab your friends for a hands-on, two-hour self-defense training session with The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation that develops safety awareness and practical skills for any level of fitness.
