By the end of this 4 week workshop, you will confidently know how to defend yourself against an attacker. Here are some of the skills you’ll walk away with: first and foremost, the ability to move quickly to reposition your body to whatever position makes you difficult to grab or strike. The ability to escape from chokes, and other grabs, like hair grabs. Also, the ability to disarm someone holding a weapon, if necessary. Everything is defensive.
Debbie Love is a 4th Degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor in Karate and Kobudo. With over 30 years of martial arts training focused on self-defense, she’s all about empowering the ones who might feel like easy targets. Standing at 4’11” and 95 lbs, Debbie found that traditional self-defense classes didn’t quite fit—literally. So, she decided to reinvent the game. With her vast experience, Debbie is a powerhouse advocate for safety and empowerment. She uniquely blends smarts, instincts, and some seriously cool moves into a seamless groove of protection and awareness. She’s on a mission to show that self-defense isn’t just about muscle—it’s about wits, wisdom, and maybe having a little fun along the way.
