Description

On Sunday, August 14th, The Dry Outs are teaming up with Ronin Martial Arts Academy for a one hour free self-defense seminar for women. On August 19th, 2019, I, a petite woman of color, was at a Raleigh downtown courthouse as moral support for my boyfriend at the time. After a long morning of cases, I excused myself to the restroom. We were on the second floor of the courthouse. A man followed me into the bathroom, waited for me to exit the stall, assaulted me and attempted to kidnap me. Luckily I escaped but while screaming for help, I was ignored by numerous people and saw no security or police stationed on the second floor. What do you do when no one will help you in crisis? I was told after the event by a women's shelter counselor that if she was in the same position, she would freeze. I do not know how to fight. I was lucky. It was my instincts and the brief training my mother taught me from her self-defense course that saved my life. This free seminar is to empower women to feel safer. You don't know how you will react till it happens to you. One hopes such a jarring event will never occur in their life, but if it does, one should have as many resources and knowledge as possible to remain safe Please register by Sunday, July 31st, 2022. There are only 14 slots available so please register quickly. We are a community here to uplift and empower one another. THE DRY OUTS: https://bit.ly/TheDryOuts
