Girls's & Women Only Self-defense Seminars

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BE EMPOWERED!

  • A woman is battered every 15 - 18 seconds in the United States
  • 95% of violence experienced by women will happen in their home
  • By age 20, 1 in 3 women will experience dating violence
  • 30 -65% of all homicides of women are related to Domestic Violence by male partners
  • Domestic Violence is the single leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44 in the U.S. -  more common than car accidents, muggings and rape combined

Whether you're young or old, short or tall, overweight or underweight, it doesn't matter to sexual predators, muggers, or abusers, what matters to them is "Fear".

They can smell fear and see it. Fear is their best weapon. Overcome your fear, empower yourself with knowledge - Stop feeding them!

WALK WITH CONFIDENCE!

You don't have to be a martial artist with a black belt, or be in the best physical shape to defend yourself.

Come out to Pathway to Harmony's Girls & Women Self-defense Seminars and learn some basic self-defense skills that can help you avoid a situation, or help you neutralize an attacker.

These seminars can help save your life!

Contact us to find out more about this empowering series of self-defense seminars and how they can be held at your church, community center, corporate office, location of your choice, or the Japanese Culture Center.
