Teen Basics
An Introduction to Self Defence and Martial Arts for
Teen Girls
Who Can Take This Workshop?
TheTeen Basics is specifically
designed to help teen girls identify, assess, avoid and manage
situations and threats commonly faced by girls in that age
group. It provides essential physical and mental self defence
skills while also introducing some common concepts and techniques
of the martial arts. Teen Basics is
open to girls age 12-17. All participants require the signed
consent of a parent or legal guardian. Like our regular Basics program, Teen
Basics is created for women, by a woman, and
is taught by a female instructor.
What’s Covered In This Workshop?
Teen Basics is an 8-week program,
with classes held once per week. Classes focus on an exciting
and dynamic mix of essential self-defence skills, such as
kicks, strikes, trapping, ground defences and more. We pay
close attention to developing key mental and verbal self
defence skills in addition to physical techniques that can
help young women detect, avoid and escape potentially violent
confrontation. Teen Basics explores
important issues like setting boundaries, situational awareness
and self esteem. Other areas that may be covered, depending
on the expressed needs of the group, may include subjects
such as relationship abuse, dangers of drugs and alcohol,
and strategies for dealing with bullying. With the emphasis
on having fun and working within your own ability, the Basics is
designed for beginners with little or no martial art training
who would like to discover self defence skills and learn
about the martial arts in a just for girls environment.
