Five Fingers of Self-Defense Workshop for the LGBTQ Community

Saturday, June 17, 2017, 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM  |  view details and directions

This single session 3-hour workshop provides an overview of mental, verbal, and physical self-defense techniques designed to help LGBTQ participants defend themselves from threats and move through the world with less fear and more confidence. We use the Five Fingers of Self-Defense: Think Yell Run Fight Tell to teach people how to accurately assess their risk and respond to violence before it escalates, while also teaching physical techniques to defend against direct assault. Our goal is to reduce both the prevalence and the harm of violence. Great for those new to the city, or anyone who wants to feel safer, stronger, and more respected in their everyday lives, and to know they can respond to emergency situations if they arise. Open to members of the LGBTQ communities, ages 15 and up.
