Discover the Power of Control: A Jiu Jitsu Journey 🌶️ 🌶️
Sunday January 12, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am EST
This workshop invites you to explore the empowering world of Jiu Jitsu, where the focus is on understanding and applying the use of force with responsibility and compassion. Whether you’re curious about self-defense or interested in personal growth, this session will guide you through essential techniques to control and neutralize threats effectively.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to achieve and maintain dominant positions to subdue an opponent, as well as practical escapes and defenses from disadvantaged situations. Partnered drills will help you practice in a supportive and controlled environment, making this experience both safe and enriching.

This workshop is perfect for beginners eager to dip their toes into martial arts and self-defense, as well as for intermediate practitioners looking to refine their skills. Advanced students will also find value in reconnecting with the foundational aspects of Jiu Jitsu. Join us on this journey to discover the power of control and the importance of using it wisely.

Jungshin: Long Sword Flow 🌶️
Sunday January 12, 2025 1:30pm - 3:00pm EST
Martial arts meets fitness in this sword-focused mind-body workout. We believe everyone has a warrior within, which we can release through the power of moving meditation. Using custom weighted wooden swords and combining 8 simple stances and 8 strikes, Jungshin brings together ancient Eastern philosophies and modern exercise science. This workshop has extremely limited capacity due to a limited number of swords. 

🌶️  Mild: The workshop does not invite sensuality or sexuality. There will be no facilitator invitations to cuddle or share moving touch, plus no welcoming or invoking of sexual energy. Any partner dancing that occurs will default to or center open position.
