I can't recommend the Women's Self Defense classes enough! I have taken two now and plan to continue with the series. There is so much to learn and you can never be too prepared. The instructors are great and provide hands on experience and real-life scenarios.
SIGN UP FOR THE PEPPER SPRAY CLASS. You will be surprised by how much you don't know about using your pepper spray.
Kathryn G Boston, MAI think I could literally repeat that this class is amazing, this class is amazing, this class is amazing, this class is amazing.
However, for the sake of actually providing some details of my experience I will refrain from just repeating how the class is amazing. The instructor Gershon was very instructive and patient, gave great insight, was very keen on what form you used to perform the techniques being taught and how to help you maximize them, and very encouraging all at the same time.
Jasmine M. Richmond, VAGershon is incredibly knowledgeable and an amazing instructor, as is Liz and the whole crew. The no ego all inclusive environment is really great, and the free women's self defense class is like no other in the city. I can't say enough good things about this place. Just go!
Elle S Boston, MAI've never done any sort of class activity before, but I signed up for the free women's self-defense class because hey, free self-defense.
Gershon, the instructor, is awesome! He gives super practical advice, firmly grounded in extensive study of psychology and human behavior. I really appreciated the background in why people might attack you, what sorts of scenarios (planned/spontaneous), how to analyze the causes, etc. I'd go as far as to say this was the most valuable part of the class for me.
E O Miami Beach, FLThe workshop (campus Safety) was amazing! I thought that the instructors were going to try to sell us classes but everything was focused on self defense. It felt like they really cared about our safety and giving us tools to protect ourselves. I liked how there was a lot of practice to build muscle memory. It was all really well done, thank you!
