This program is designed for women who want to:

  • Build confidence and presence both physically and interpersonally

  • Experience something more active than Yoga, but with similar mental and physical benefits

  • Explore a martial art safely and non-competitively

  • Return to a more gentle, sustainable martial arts practice after time away

No prior experience is required. This course is appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels and emphasizes the development of mind/body awareness and self control rather than sports athleticism or force.
