This course is Open to Girls 10 years + and Women of all ages and abilities. Included in this program are defence strategies to the most common assaults on girls and women such as wrist and arm holds, strangulation and body holds, weapons defense, ground and bed defense and gang and swarming situations. Our discussions cover factual, resourceful information on being in public walking, using public transit or other vehicles; healthy relationships, boundary setting, sexual assault, relationship abuse and harassment.
“Thank you for not only teaching the course but also for the care you showed to all women. Today I was not only empowered to participate and learn but it was also one of the very few times I listened to what my body was saying, took care of it and didn’t feel guilty about it. Wen-Do is so much more than physical self-defense!” (student from a weekend course)
“Thank you so much for coming to our school. Your empathy, sensitivity and understanding have been much appreciated. It’s not very often that my girls have the chance to hear such positive messages about self-esteem, self-worth and control over their own lives. I especially liked how you tied in aspects of healthy relationships, date rape, and sexual assault in the course.’” (from a Grade 9 Teacher)
