Self Defense Workshop

Celebrate International Women’s Day by empowering yourself and supporting our community.

Join us for a beginner-friendly, women-only afternoon designed to build confidence both on and off the mats. Whether you’ve never touched a pair of boxing gloves or stepped foot on a mat, this seminar is for you. We are transforming our gym into a welcoming space to learn life-saving skills while supporting a great cause.

What to Expect:

• 45 Minutes of Muay Thai: Learn the "Art of Eight Limbs." We’ll cover basic striking, footwork, and how to use your knees and elbows for self-defense.
• 45 Minutes of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): Transition to learn essential ground defense, escapes, and leverage-based techniques.
• Floral Wrap: Every participant will receive a beautiful, hand-crafted mini floral wrap to take home, curated by our favorite women-owned florist and wine bar, Cork & Stem.

100% of the profits from this event will be donated directly to a local women's shelter, providing support and resources for survivors of domestic abuse in San Diego.
