SUMMARY:Self Defense for Every Body
DESCRIPTION:This 2-hour workshop offers essential self-defense training for anyone\, regardless of age\, size\, or physical strength.

With over 20 years of experience\, she has refined an approach to teaching practical self-defense that is accessible to women of all sizes\, ages\, and abilities. Having navigated male-dominated spaces both in martial arts and her former career in finance\, Denise is committed to creating a supportive\, inclusive environment where women of all backgrounds feel empowered to train. \nPLEASE NOTE: WORKSHOP IS IN PERSON AT THE WOMENS CENTER IN VIENNA\, VA
