FAQs
What do I wear?
Wear comfortable work-out attire. You will be training with a female partner on matted surface. Be prepared to train without your shoes (Socks are ok).
Can you tell me a little about what to expect?
The primary goal of this seminar is to demonstrate the simplicity of learning self-defense through effective techniques accessible to everyone. Throughout the session, you'll explore typical threat scenarios, delve into the psychology of attacks, and acquire fundamental techniques that will prove immediately applicable. Rest assured, you'll participate in a secure and supervised environment. However, please note that some techniques necessitate physical interaction with a partner for practice drills.
Is this a Women only event?
This program is tailored specifically for female participants, ensuring an inclusive environment where every participant feels secure and comfortable throughout the entirety of the experience. Apart from our Head Instructor & Owner, Christian Montes, all participants, guided by our Head Women Empowered Coach, Lora, are female.
Will I be learning techniques and concepts that I can use immediately?
Absolutely. Women Empowered offers a comprehensive range of self-defense techniques. For this seminar, we've streamlined the selection to focus on the most practical and readily learnable techniques that can be mastered within just a couple of hours.
Will this be a workout?
This class doesn't prioritize fitness and doesn't demand athleticism. While you might break a light sweat from drilling techniques with a partner to familiarize yourself, it's not strenuous exercise. You'll be working closely with a partner to practice the techniques effectively.
