Facilitated by Sufi Brian: Discover how awareness, technique, and inner calm can be your most powerful tools for personal safety.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn essential self-defense skills that are practical, adaptable, and rooted in real-world situations. Whether you're dealing with a playful grab, an uncomfortable encounter, or a full-on assault, you'll gain the tools to respond with clarity and control.

We’ll cover:

• Defensive postures, blocks, strikes, kicks, and knee strikes

• Escapes from common grabs, including wrist grabs, hair pulls, and bear hugs

• The scalability of defense—how to respond appropriately across a range of threats

• Using physics and body mechanics to redirect attackers without relying on brute strength

• Red flags attackers look for—and how to avoid them

• Everyday objects as improvised tools: pens, keys, books, flashlights, and phones

This workshop emphasizes empowerment through understanding, not fear. You'll leave with greater confidence, sharper instincts, and a deeper connection to your own strength.
