Let's us know you are coming. Demos with pepper spray and stun guns 😁I was very apprehensive about the first self defense class I took. I didn't think I'd be strong enough, have enough endurance, that I'd fail miserably in front of everyone!
Instead - I found I was stronger than I realized, I can fight harder than I thought I could. And what I didn't expect was to feel so empowered. As a petite female it was such a confidence boost knowing I do have the ability to fight back..
Come & join us for this fun & empowering class where you can vent the stress of the day & learn some new skills! 🥊
You Matter | You Matter Foundation, Inc | The Body Garage-Conneaut Lake
We can't wait to see you! Sign up here - $25 per person & it's prepayment only!
