You MatterI was very apprehensive about the first self defense class I took. I didn't think I'd be strong enough, have enough endurance, that I'd fail miserably in front of everyone!
Instead - I found I was stronger than I realized, I can fight harder than I thought I could. And what I didn't expect was to feel so empowered. As a petite female it was such a confidence boost knowing I do have the ability to fight back..
Come & join us for this fun & empowering class where you can vent the stress of the day & learn some new skills! 🥊
