A women in a self defense training session

In this 90-minute (Saturday, January 17 1:00 – 2:30 PM), beginner-friendly workshop, you learn calm, practical strategies drawn from judo, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling to stay safer, move with confidence, and protect your personal space—without high-impact throws or intimidating drills.

We’ll cover:

  • Managing distance to reduce risk and avoid escalation
  • Safely closing distance and creating angles to step away
  • Simple options if someone grabs you in a side headlock
  • What to do if you are taken to the ground

This class introduces a few basic tools; ongoing practice is recommended to build comfort and confidence. Class meets in the main group exercise studio. Questions? Email Jessica at JKorda@ffc.com.

Friends walking together at a gym.

Invite a friend the week of January 19 to January 25 who always talks about “getting back into it.” During Bring Your Buddy Week, your guest works out with you for free – classes, cardio, strength, basketball, pickleball, swimming. You check in together, we handle the rest. You get extra motivation, they get a taste of the club experience you love.

In order to participate, email Brad Johnson at Bjohnson@ffc.com with the name of your guest. The same guest can only come one time during this week.
