Think about the women you know. Now consider one in four will be assaulted or attacked during their lifetime. You can put the odds in your favor by learning how to effectively Strike Back®.

Today, women are looking for realistic defense programs that can be learned quickly and more importantly remembered under stress. This non-martial arts workshop is like nothing you’ve seen before and is a method you will not forget. If you can remember “stop, drop and roll” you can learn a method of defense that can get you out of just about any situation.

GSB (Girls Strike Back®) is specifically designed for women ages 13 and up. In 90 minutes you learn some of the most effective techniques women can use to defend against a realistic assault. This is not the old worn-out advice you already know like “kick him in the groin” or “carry your keys and walk aggressively.” Rather, women learn how to use their most powerful weapons (their legs) against a male attacker.

Girls Strike Back® Workshops are designed for women of all ages and physical abilities. Here women learn a holistic approach that teaches them to use ALL of their feminine assets to level the playing field. Here you will learn how to overcome a challenge from a common street encounter or social encounter to bullying — anywhere an unwanted approach occurs. Upon completion women leave with the knowledge and confidence to defend themselves against the most common types of attacks.

This program will take place in the Noah Webster Library Meeting Room, 20 S. Main St. West Hartford. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. This program is for women age 13 and up. All minors (under 18) MUST bring a female parent/guardian with them to the program. The guardian may sit on the side while the program is in progress. Please wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. Note: Participants will need to sign a contract agreement before the program begins.

Registration is limited to 20 participants, so please only sign up if you are absolutely certain you will attend.
