Teen Self Defense Workshop

Take a stressful event and add a triggered emotional reaction and what’s the result? The potential for a “knee jerk” response that could make the situation worse--maybe much worse. Humans are hard-wired to be emotional creatures, which means we often react in emotional, “knee-jerk” ways to conflict.  These reactions can unfortunately get us into even deeper trouble. In this fun, interactive workshop led by Shepherd Warrior Martial Arts, we will share simple strategies for de-escalation and assertive conflict resolution. Participants will walk away with an understanding of how to avoid being a Knee-Jerk and how to safely and effectively respond when faced with a conflict situation.
