The Eastern Parkway Literacy Zone presents a Women’s Self Defense Class with Sonja from Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
Feel strong & empowered through exercise and practical Self-defense techniques.
This class is designed for every woman who would like to experience empowerment through exercise and learn several important practical safety skills. No experience is necessary.
It is a fun way to build confidence, strength and connect with other powerful women.
Some of the skills the class will focus on are e.g. general balance and weight distribution to not get pushed or pulled; how to escape someone grabbing our wrist/hand; what to do when someone is swinging a punch or grabbing us from behind; how to escape someone trying to choke us.
Sonja Hofstetter has been training in martial arts since the fall of 2013 and is part of the team of instructors at Brooklyn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She holds a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate.
Join us at the Eastern Parkway Library on Sat., June 15, from 1 pm-2 pm.
What to bring:
-Wear comfortable clothes
-Bring your water bottle
-A great attitude ready to learn
