Self Defense Seminar for women

"You didn't just teach me how to protect myself, you gave me permission to protect myself."

-Marylin

On Saturday, September 26th, Mrs. Conley will be presenting Self Defense for Women at the Beginner's Mind Dojo at 10am.

This two and a half hour course will cover a solid range of defense from easy to apply techniques to verbal development skills and most importantly, victim prevention. Through the course of this seminar women of any age or body type will develop protective physical skills, confidence building mental skills, and new friendships!

Take the time to get to know the friendly and light-hearted instructors and get assistance with finding our school at the Beginner's Mind Dojo website: www.beginnersmindschool.com

We look forward to meeting you and want you to know that, at the Beginner's Mind, you don't only learn self-defense, you develop confidence!

Mrs. Conley's feelings on PBL's Self Protection Seminar

Today, Mr. Conley and I were lucky to find ourselves hosting The Beginner's Mind Dojo’s first ever Women's Self Protection Seminar for Walla Walla Community College and the Phi Beta Lambda club. All the women that attended, were just looking for some self confidence and the skills to keep themselves SAFE!

Before teaching, I had a moment of panic at the realization of this being our debut seminar. People were still arriving as I fidgeted with informational handouts and my nerves were still a twitter. I then remembered the counseling that our sensei offered to and his confidence within us and was beginning to feel empowered but was still reminded that these women were still going to be influenced by my teachings today. After a small amount of speed talking in the beginning (which I slowed directly afterward), the class got underway and the ladies in attendance were excited and eager to get underway and before we knew it, the day zoomed by. Those attending were attentive and thrived on the knowledge we shared with them, everyone participated in all drills and after each one walked away with coments like "wow i can do this", "wait, that was so simple", and my favorite "I can't believe I have that much power just from that!". At the end of our day together, each one thanked Mr. Conley and I for a great day and for about another 30 minutes, slowly one by one took their leave. I feel grateful and honored to have had this opportunity and thanks to my wonderful Husband (punching bag) together made it in my eyes an awesome day.

What I feel all of them left with was an empowering knowledge that everyone can protect themselves and that if they trust in their instincts as well as the individual strengths we worked today they are more protected. What I walked away with was a strong feeling of satisfaction and confidence! Satisfaction that every attendee had a fantastic time and confidence that there were that many more women in the world that have taken the power of protection into their hands!

Women's Self Defense at WWCC

Beginner's Mind Martial Arts Dojo and Phi Beta Lambda have teamed up to present female students of Walla Walla Community College with a three hour class that helps develop skills and understanding which may be called upon in times of need!

This self defense course, which is held at the WWCC campus in the Water building 2023 on Saturday, February 28th from 1pm to 4pm, will cover physical aspects of self defense by covering basic striking tailored for female effectiveness as well as basic grabbing and holding escapes.

Additionally; Stacy, Beginner's Mind's female instructor, will discuss the psychological aspects of self defense and the body's natural response in high stress situations, the key element in self defense.

There will be plenty of opportunities to practice what you've learned and great fun to be had by all! This class is open to female college students enrolled at WWCC and their loved ones at a very special PBL ticket price of $15.00 per person. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Phi Beta Lambda and the many great causes they fight for with their brains instead of their fists!
