Free Women's Self Defense at Roosevelt Community Church
**Free Women's Self Defense Classes in Downtown Phoenix**
Hello everyone! Our free self defense classes are offered TWICE A MONTH in downtown Phoenix. Our church has been offering these classes as a service to the community for more than 4 1/2 years. We are honored to be able to provide a safe space for women and teen girls to connect while learning an important life skill. We've had more than 400 women attend our classes! Some attend once, others attend many times. I’m a certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu self-defense instructor, and I also teach at a local certified training center.
**If you'd like to receive an email or text reminder a few days before each free class, please reach out and provide your contact info.**

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Our goal is to provide opportunities for women and teen girls to make authentic connections while engaging in meaningful discussions around personal awareness, safety, and boundaries. With Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the focus is on setting boundaries and learning how a smaller person can more effectively thwart an attack from a bigger, stronger opponent using leverage, technique, and timing rather than strength, speed, and athleticism. Although the topic is serious, we provide a light-hearted and fun environment to learn together.
Seminar-style classes. Start at any time during the session. No experience needed.
SATURDAYS, 10 - 11:15am (twice a month)
Please plan to arrive 10 - 15 minutes early for your first class.
