Women's Empowered Defender
The
Empowered Defender self-defense courses for women teach simple, effective, techniques
and skills that work with a women's adrenaline reflexes. Fancy techniques
and high flying kicks are no use when adrenaline is flowing and dexterity is limited.
All techniques are based on the premise that the attacker is larger and stronger
and as a result the techniques taught must not rely on speed or
strength.
The Empowered Defender Series is broken into two 4 hours sessions, each building and reviewing, while introducing a new skill set. The courses are a fun, fact filled, hands-on approach to self-defense.
