Step into your power in this hands-on self-defense class with Chimera Empowerment Self-Defense. You’ll learn practical skills like effective strikes, how to handle grabs, and ways to get out of situations before they escalate—plus talk through myths about violence and how to trust your intuition.
This class is all about real-world skills and finding what works for you. With a supportive, no one-size-fits-all approach, you’ll build confidence, ask questions, and leave with tools you can actually use.
About Chimera:
Chimera Empowerment Self-Defense has been teaching empowering techniques for 50 years! Unlike most self-defense programs, we acknowledge that physical violence is not the only way to keep yourself safe. In addition to striking and kicking, we teach verbal and nonviolent physical skills, so you can navigate your safety the way you want—because YOU know yourself best.
Natalie is a seasoned, passionate instructor, energetic and hands-on, with 11 years of teaching experience and a great sense of humor. Her classes are relaxed, inclusive, and empowering.
