Essential Self-Defense

Presented in collaboration with Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust, this course aims to introduce participants to the basics of protecting yourself and those with you. While most self-defense programs focus on ways to deal with full-blown assault, many of us need skills that can apply to difficult and uncomfortable situations that may never meet such a high threshold. In this course, we aim to fill that gap by studying the principles that empower us to act deliberately and effectively across many different kinds of confrontations, from non-physical to life-threatening, so that we can always assert our agency and have our boundaries respected.
