For my Fearless Spirit Model Crew, the self-defense class and photoshoot is always the girls's favorite session in the program. I have a martial arts instructor teach them self-defense moves. They even learn how to flip someone. And for the photoshoot, we strap them onto a bungee and they run and jump, kick and show off the moves they just learned. So fun!!
This is to help them feel empowered to defend themselves, in any situation.
This self-defense class helps them feel:
- Were more equipped to deal with strangers, and people they know, in the context of potential assault or abuse
- Felt more empowered to protect themselves from bullies
- Had more positive feelings about their bodies
- Had increased self-confidence
Big thank you to our amazing self-defense instructor Reba Felita Rodriguez-Torres & Clarissa
