Wen-Do Women's Self-Defence Course in Kitchener

Tap into your knowing. Your awareness. Your power.

As women, girls, and gender non-conformers, we have been told that we are not strong enough, fast enough or loud enough to escape danger. We have been told that violence that happens to us is our fault.

Wen-Do is different than any other self-defence program you have seen. It is all about you, your body, your abilities and your power. It is about meeting you where you and your body are, exactly as you are, today. It is powerful self-defence designed to be used against physically larger and stronger attackers.

Wen-Do course content and this location are accessible to all people and bodies. Wheelchair users are welcome. We break stereotypes in this space.

With discussion, storytelling, physical technique instruction and practice, we get to witness ourselves and each other in our power.

Wen-Do is survivor-centered, empowerment-based, accessible and intersectional self-defence. All women are welcome - and this of course includes transwomen. If you identify as gender nonbinary, please get in contact to see if this course will work for you. Together, we will strive to create a nonjudgmental space that respects each others' choices and lifestyles.

Why wait? Now is the best time to improve your self-defence skills.

Class times are Saturday November 10th and November 17th 10am-6pm. The location will be given to attendees upon registration.
