🏳️‍🌈💪 So excited to announce that AFSSA is partnering with @queerblackwomenallianceatx and @queer_mma to bring to you a FREE Beginners Self Defense workshop on August 1st! We are so grateful to our incredible instructors Coach Lu Villarreal (he/they) and Coach Mars (she/her) for collaborating with AFSSA on this event.

In this beginner’s introduction to self-defense, participants will practice conflict de-escalation skills and physical defense tactics in a friendly, positive, hands-on learning environment. We will cover concepts like managing balance, distance, and time. This class is open to the public and geared towards people of color who identify as survivors of domestic violence.

Please RSVP as soon as possible through the QR code included in the post - location will be shared over email closer to the event. Let us know if you have any questions!

@queerblackwomenallianceatx the QR code survey indicates July 25 (not Aug 1) - can y’all please confirm the correct date?
