Class Schedule

Self-defense from A to Z

Learn how to prevent and avoid harassment, attack, and abuse; how to stop a threatening situation with words; physical moves to use against attacks.
Mondays, Feb. 6 to March 26, 7-8:30 pm
For women and teen girls age 16+
14th St. and Florida Ave., NW, DC (near U St./Cardozo on the Green Line)
In an 8-week class, you’ll learn how to defend yourself from the ground (not just standing up); you’ll practice almost-infinite varieties of verbal and physical defense scenarios so that the skills are part of your “muscle memory” and you feel comfortable dealing with many, many situations; you’ll learn much more advanced and nuanced skills. There’s a lot more, but it won’t all fit here! Call or email if you want more details.
