Saturday, March 7th at the Gym on 5th

A self-defense class taught by Miyo Strong and Chelsea Kilpack of Empower Self Defense to empower and educate women. Miyo is a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu, a mother of two daughters, and a passionate women’s empowerment advocated. Chelsea holds a Masters Degree in Women’s Studies and sits on the board for the UCASA (Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault).

The class will be 2 hours long and will be at the Gym on 5th. You do not need to be a gym member to participate, nor are you required to have attended our Intro to Women’s Self Defense class last November. This class will be physical, with a lot of time spent on the ground.

Mothers may bring their daughters, ages 12 and up, at no extra cost. If you are going to bring your daughter, please select the “Mother & Daughter” option from the drop down menu for the class time you’d like to attend. If you have a daughter or know a young person under the age of 12 and would like them to attend this class, please let us know. We will cover very adult topics relating to sexual violence and sexual assault, and will be teaching how to respond in situations where your personal space is violated.

Half of the proceeds from these classes will be donated to Seekhaven, a family crisis and resource center based here in Moab, UT.
