The ABC Women’s Self-Defense Program

STOP Rape – Assault – Abuse – Domestic Violence

“I’ve seen it all in the movies and read it in the papers. But those things happen to others and not to me – or so I thought…”

Is this you? Just think about the world we live in today. Not to scare you, but realize this fact – 1 in 5 women will be involved in a violent domestic or sexual attack in their lifetime. That means if it’s not you, it’s someone you know, a family member, friend, or coworker. No one is immune to violence. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, where you go to school, how much money you make…Doesn’t it make sense to know how to be AWARE and also be PREPARED before it’s too late?

The ABC Women’s Self-Defense Course is a dynamic and intensive program that covers the 3 basic but critical areas of self-protection for women.

Yang Style Taiji (Tai Chi)

Instructor: Tom Mazzaferro

Taiji is an ancient and internal martial art for health and healing based on natural movement. It is about the flow of energy in the body and as the practitioner advances, it is about the transfer of energy between people. It is an extremely powerful martial art that does not rely on muscle or strength. To experience the great benefits of Taiji you simply must do it.
