CT Women's Self Defense Event - April 2022

60 Access Road,Stratford CT 06615

24 April, 2022

Description

Join us for a FREE Self-Defense class followed by a discussion on Personal Finances including budgeting and keeping your finances safe. Founded by Shannon Velletri, a domestic abuse survivor and speaker, Laura Griffith, a Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt and Women’s Self Defense Instructor, and Gilit Cooper, a Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt, CT Women’s Self Defense has big goals. We want to empower women to help themselves, whether it is through providing self defense instruction, the support of other women, or connecting them with next steps and resources to recognize and get out of unhealthy and domestic abuse situations. To that end, we hold a self defense event on the last Sunday of every month, including physical self defense moves and guest speakers on topics such as getting your finances together, situational awareness, and recognizing signs of abuse. Events are always free, LGBTQ friendly, and for adults only (18 and up due to the nature of some of the discussions). If you or someone you know needs help, you can always reach out and we will do our best to connect you with the right professionals and resources.
