Girl Army Workshops & Classes

BASICS CLASS

This year we are trying out a new format which will be to offer two shorter class of three weeks each, and one longer class of six weeks. This is partly because we are suffering a shortage of membership, especially teachers. Additionally, we hope that having three classes a year will bring more folks! We will be holding three week classes in spring and summer, and a six week class in the fall.

Girl Army's Fall 2010 Basics Course will be held Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm on October 10, 17, 24, 31, and November 7 and 14. We strongly recommend that you attend all of the classes. The fee for the course is $120-$0 sliding scale, and the location will be Suigetsukan Dojo in Oakland. Located at 103 International Blvd at 1st Ave., Suigetsukan is a ten minute walk from the Lake Merritt BART station. For directions visit their website or check the map.

No one turned away for lack of funds!

In the Basics Course, we present a range of physical and psychological self defense techniques that may be used against a single unarmed attacker. For the three week course, we strongly recommend that students attend all classes. For the six week course, due to the nature and pace of the course, we cannot take new students after the second class.
