We’re kicking off Pride month with a free self-defense seminar for our q***r and trans communities: SPEAR system with instructor Bridger Fox (any/all).
Bridger Fox has been training in martial arts, combat sports, and stunt fighting since 1989. Their current approach to teaching self-defense is adapted from Tony Blauer’s SPEAR systems with influence from Annie Ellman and Akko Nishimura’s approach to teaching women’s self defense. The SPEAR system converts our instinctive “flinch” reactions into protective movements, counters, and escapes. The concept and technique focused in this seminar will be a reflex recognition-intercept-transition component that can be applied to any style you have. All levels and experiences are welcome!
Masks will be required to participate. This seminar is free and exclusively for q***r+trans students. Please arrive 5 - 10 minutes early. Bare feet or socks on the purple mats only. Always wear shoes when stepping off the mats. No RSVP necessary.
This seminar will take place during our usual Q***r Combat time slot, so Muay Thai class on 6/12 will be cancelled. See you there!
