Queer Self Defense Workshops

Queer and trans people often face higher rates of harassment, discrimination, and violence in public and private spaces. In this third edition of the DBS Queer Self Defense training, we are partnering with professional trainers Anna Haskin and Nadia Janssen of Rooted Resilience.

‍

On October 25th, they will facilitate a workshop to teach you physical techniques to defend yourself, as well as tools for building confidence, reacting to specific street scenarios, and reclaiming a sense of safety and autonomy.

‍

IMPORTANT:
The workshop will take place twice on the same day, with the same content in both sessions.
1) Workshop 1 is for Female Figures (FF): a ballroom term that includes trans women, cis women, and drags.
2) Workshop 2 is Open to All (OTA) queer and trans people (including Female Figures).

‍

Please register for only one of the two workshops. We set it up this way to give space to the specific needs of FF, while also making the workshop accessible to the wider community through OTA. No experience needed, just come as you are.

Make sure you go to the right location of Tiger's Gym!
