Fall Safety and Ground Survival
Spend two hours in a safe and inclusive environment learning how to make effective self-defense techniques work naturally with your body. All bodies and all orientations are welcomed, and no prior skill or experience is required. This workshop is centered on the LGBTQIA2S+ community; allies and friends are also welcomed.
Flying Tortoise Kung Fu is at 4400 NE Glisan St, Portland, OR 97213.
This month’s themes
- How to fall safely (just in time for winter)
- Key principles to minimize fall injuries
- Survival on the ground against standing attackers
All techniques are based on leverage, biomechanics, and knowledge of human anatomy, and can be done regardless of body attributes, athleticism, and strength.
Let’s collaborate and learn how to be safe together.
*For the safety of the participants, we are requiring all participants to be masked during the workshop, regardless of vaccination status. We will have opportunities for mask breaks as needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at holly@safetogether.space.
