Believing that people of all ages and physical abilities should be able to protect themselves, Self Defense for the People brings their simple and effective one hour workshop to the JCCSF with special attention on Older Women. Older women can be perceived as easy targets who might not fight back. In addition, there are circumstances that are unique to women, such as purse snatching, sexual assault scenarios, hair pulls, and more. De-escalation and verbal tactics methods and physical techniques, such as how to use everyday items as tools for self-defense, defensive footwork, and defense against physical moves will be illustrated.  

Advance Registration is Required: Space is Limited to Women 55+. 

Self Defense for the People was founded by two mission driven friends, Jimmy Choi, and Joseph Bautista. Both maintain the highest commitment to the safety and protection of self and others.
