Join us for a free intro self-defense workshop at !

We’ll be covering the basics: stretching, conditioning, technique, and theory, with the hope that participants will leave with some super useful foundations that they can add to their self-defense toolkits.

Mix that in with movement and pad-hitting and you’ll have an accessible and confidence-boosting good time for all. This workshop is great for beginners, meant to share some simple-to-pick-up techniques that you can practice on your own or with friends!

We’ll be holding a 1 hour workshop from 1-2 PM at this event in Park Slope on SUNDAY (rain date 5/18).

Come on by for some intro self-defense strategies to round out all the fun things going on at Park Slope Acts Now. Great for all ages! 💜
