Women and girls know that choosing to take self-defense is one of many ways to take care of ourselves.

Our school’s Five Fingers mission:
To Empower Women and Girls so they May Walk in Peace, guides both our self-defense classes and our martial arts training.

In the Five Fingers of Self Defense & Empowerment Series you will learn:

Mind - To use your mind to assess, trust your intuition, practice awareness drills, stay centered, think through choices and options, plan, etc.

Voice - To use verbal and non-verbal communication skills to de-escalate a situation, give clear commands, set boundaries, distract, etc.

Escape - Many different ways to re-position/escape from grabs, inappropriate touch, how to shift/balance/re-redirect energy, etc.

Fight - The natural weapons and targets on everyone's body. Learn how to respond, if necessary, when on your feet or the ground.

Tell - To tell your story, give descriptions, discuss strategies, honor the past stories of women, celebrate present moment victories and success, to look forward to ongoing health and wellness.

The Five Fingers of Self-Defense & Empowerment is a curriculum that emphasizes trusting your intuition, deepening your awareness, addressing scenarios and situations that range from irritating to life-threatening, understanding the natural weapons and targets that everyone’s body has, as well as sharing a wide range of resources for advocacy, education, healing and self-care.

The cost is $100 for three Sessions (no charge for enrolled FEMA students)-Some scholarships are available. ($50 If you have taken the course before).

Anyone who has taken ANY of our self defense classes before can receive a 50% discount on new classes.
