Self Defense Workshop for the Trans, Intersex, and Gender Nonconforming community

Join Austin DSA's Trans/Intersex Rights and Bodily Autonomy campaign and Local Queer on January 24th from 4-7pm at Sun Dragon Martial Arts for an in-depth self defense workshop addressing some of the unique safety concerns of the trans, intersex and gender-nonconforming community, instructed by Luis Villarreal and Coty DeLacretaz. Informed by Empowerment Self Defense principles and combat sport science, we will explore both verbal and physical strategies to de-escalate conflict and minimize harm during a confrontation through interactive activities and hands-on physical practice. No experience necessary. Please contact [email protected] to make arrangements for accessibility.
