The Intertribal Youth Centre and Les Grrrlz is organising: BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU SELF-DEFENCE CLASSES FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
Starts January 17th! What? Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art, combat and self-defence sport. These weekly one-hour classes are designed to teach participants self-defence techniques from various types of physical attacks. Who? These classes are for anyone who identifies as a Woman/Grrrl (between 15-35 years) and is interested in learning self-defence strategies. (FYI: Those of us who have been taking classes with the instructor trust him because he is respectful of participants and welcomes our questions). Why? Many of us feel unsafe when we are walking alone during the day or night. Many of us feel unsafe, whether in our own homes, from people we know, or strangers. To be physically/sexually attacked can mean many things, it can mean that someone touched us in a way we didn’t like, tried to choke us, pushed us, hurt us. It is important to know how to defend ourselves and to fight back in these situations! When? Every Tuesday from 4:30-5:30pm (January 17th until March 6th, 2012). Feel free to come out to one class, or come every week! If possible, get in touch with us if you plan on coming, so we can prepare for the space depending on the amount of people attending. Where? 2001 boul. Saint-Laurent (Metro: Saint-Laurent) How much? Free The idea is that the group go through formal physical and self-defense training. The vision is one where formal training would provide physical space and time together. This in turn allows us to discuss issues of violence and how to take pro-active steps in organising ourselves to prevent and fight against various forms of violence. The idea is to start small and use something tangible to build, grow and flourish from. In many respects, this project aims to apply theory to practice, with both short and long term goals. It also aims to promote mental, emotional and physical health.
