Personal Safety for Women & Girls

Women’s Self-Defense Class 

with David Bruce Leonard & Ashley Casperson

When: Sunday 1/30/2022, 10am - 5pm

Cost: $150

This work is full-contact scenario-based high-adrenaline training in a safe and emotionally supportive environment. One of the many things that we do is train women to shorten their freeze response when in a potentially dangerous situation.

The essence of this work is not "the man in the suit"; it is the pedagogy, the teaching style that allows the conditioning to happen. Because we train women in high adrenaline states, they learn to use the adrenaline as fuel to help them survive rather than causing them to freeze.

However important the physical skills may be, most of the class is focused on how to avoid danger and, if needed, how to deescalate dangerous situations. The vast majority of assaults can be avoided with verbal responses alone. We spend a lot of time on body language, non-verbal cues, the dynamics of sexual assaults, and situational awareness as well as the legal issues in Hawaiʻi of needing to defend oneself in the home, at work, and in public.
