Fullpower Safety and Self-Defense Workshop for Young Adults in Palo Alto, CA
Young adults often have exciting opportunities for travel, employment, college, or internships. These opportunities involve being with new people, in new roles, in new communities, with a greater degree
of independence and autonomy. Fullpower for Young Adults will focus on skills for having safer, more positive experiences with strangers, peers, housemates, co-workers, employers, as well as with representatives of institutions such as educational and health care facilities. A few “People Safety” skills can prevent or stop most harassment and violence and can strengthen new connections.
Using examples relevant to adults in these situations, we’ll practice skills to:
- Assess situations and respond quickly
- Project awareness and confidence, especially when on your own
- Stop unwanted attention
- Use voice as a safety tool
- Set clear boundaries with friends, partners, co-workers, classmates and others
- Take charge of emotional triggers
- Get help - and persist until you get it!
- Deal effectively with verbal aggression
- Stop most attacks before they start with a few simple habits
- Use powerful physical self-defense skills that need little strength and no ongoing practice. This class includes full force practice with a paddedinstructor.
