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.

Chapel Theatre is at 4107 SE Harrison Street, Milwaukie, Oregon 97222

This month's themes

  • Escapes from common grabs and holds
  • Identifying and maintaining safe distances for different scenarios
  • Personal safety mindset without living in hypervigilence

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.
