We teach Empowerment Self Defense, and that's Different.
It’s recognizing that you have strength in your body to execute simple and effective physical resistance moves. But it’s also about giving you confidence and skills to empower your everyday life.
SETpoint training will teach you how to:
- Maximize your body’s inherent strengths, including your senses and your intuition;
- Pick up and react to clues in your environment;
- Recognize healthy and unhealthy behaviors in relationships;
- Set your own boundaries and respect the boundaries that others set;
- Practice punches, kicks, and other self-defense moves at a physical level appropriate for your body;
- Be an active bystander to help others in need.
You’ll leave feeling strong, energized, and empowered!
