Complex, ingrained behaviors and emotional shadows from life experiences often prevent women from understanding they have the power of choice at every moment in their lives. At the core of Self Defense training at Mejishi, the Lioness School of Self Defense, we help women recognize dangerous situations, to have strategies available for escape or defense and to make safe and effective decisions.
We look at situations from every angle - do I respond with words or actions? Where are my exit routes? How can I escape from this person? When is it OK to fight? How do I fight? These questions are put to the test in class through physical exercises in which students actively participate.
Opportunities for Learning
Saturday March 7, 2009 Program: Mejishi Martial Arts offers a comprehensive
basic self defense program. The class is a great place to begin an exploration of self-defense.
All ages and physical condition will benefit from this class. Students range from women who are survivors of violence to those looking for more information about defense techniques.
Assault Prevention & Self Defense for Women: This beneficial program of two to six hours brings women together in an effort to prevent victimization and increase awareness of protection strategies. This fun and informative seminar is designed to increase confidence and reduce fear. We examine and practice simple, effective techniques - some physical, some not - which can be adapted into the life experience of any woman. Women of all ages, sizes and fitness levels are welcome.
Confront the Shadow: For women with self-defense experience, or the courageous beginner, there is "Confront the Shadow", a premiere assault prevention program which offers training with a padded attacker. This class is offered periodically at the Mejishi dojo, or can be held at your organization's location. The experience of this class is much more emotionally challenging; if you at all have concerns, please speak with Sensei Spiro before enrolling.
One-day Intensive: Jaye also teaches a one day intensive program at Oakland Community College. Please consult the OCC website for more information.
Children's Hospital Program for at-Risk Teens: as part of Sensei Spiro's commitment to helping women make safe choices and build self-esteem, she trains teens to respond to physical encounters, to avoid acquaintance rape, to know and assert their rights, and to have effective de-escalation techniques.
To enroll, download these forms, print them out, and send in or drop off with payment.
