Women’s Self Defense Seminar

In this introductory class we will learn how to utilize the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to neutralize some of the most common attacks using only leverage, technique, and timing. The goal of each technique is to safely escape the situation, so while there are times when we may strike the assailant to facilitate our escape, we do everything we can to avoid a direct combat situation.We will spend the first two hours of the seminar discussing various assault scenarios and learning some basic moves. We’ll break for lunch around noon and then spend the rest of the afternoon learning slightly more advanced techniques and practicing our new skills.This is not a fitness class, and anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make these techniques work against a larger and stronger opponent. The only requirement is a basic level of mobility (bending at the waist, raising arms to shoulder level, etc.). Please contact the instructor, Ms. Blaire Johnson, if you have questions. *Please email BlaireLVanHecke@gmail.com to register and make payment arrangements. The fee is $32 for the day.
