Self-Defense Foundations

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.
