A few years ago I took a wen-do course with a girlfriend. It was a great opportunity to talk about women's safety in an empowering and fun way. The physical techniques are practical and easy to learn.
Check out this free wen-do event happening on campus:
WEN-DO Women’s Self Defense
Sponsored by SASSL
This is a FREE event!
Dates: March 7th and March 14th
Time: 10am - 5pm

Wen-Do Women's Self Defence is a registered charity and the oldest women's self defence organization in Canada.

In the 2-day Wen-Do Workshop, you will:
* Learn simple, effective physical self-defence techniques
* Explore verbal self defence - reasoning, confronting, using surprise, and more...
* Discuss issues of violence against women and girls in a supportive setting
* Share inspiring real-life stories of resistance!
Classes are small, safe, non-competitive, and fun! Wen-Do is accessible to women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities. The workshop will be facilitated by Denise Handlarski.
