WAVE Empowerment, Self-Defense, and Boundary Setting

WAVE is a practical and empowering self-defense program that teaches safety strategies that participants can use in situations ranging from verbal harassment to physical assault. This 2-part introductory class will feature discussion and activities around the five components of self-defense (Think, Yell, Run, Fight, and Tell) with a specific focus on verbal boundary-setting skills. Participants will also be taught some easy-to-learn physical techniques.

This program is trauma-informed, and designed to empower individuals and build their confidence. You don’t need to be an athlete to learn self-defense! WAVE is for people of all genders, skills, abilities, sizes and body types.
