WIPN Austin | Fit and Fearless – A Womens Self Defense Class

July 12, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am CDT

Free

When it comes to our personal safety, there is nothing we fear more than being unprepared.  Especially as a Woman thinking about defending herself.  However, many of us have not learned some of the most basic steps to protecting ourselves against potential attackers.

We have been asked by many of you to host a self defense class and we will do just that on 7/12 at 9am at Fit and Fearless in South Austin!

In addition to gaining these life skills, we thought it would also be a good idea to give back.  That is why we will be accepting donations for SAFE Alliance – a non-profit helping those who have dealt with abuse.  A list of items in need can be found HERE.

The items on the sheet include shampoo/conditioner, personal hygiene items, baby items, etc.  Let’s help these victims in whatever way we can.

They also take gift cards and cash donations on their website – safeaustin.org

We will collect these items at the time of the event and will personally drop them off to the headquarters.

Please see below for more details on the event and about Fit and Fearless!

We are a women-owned & women-led gym. First and foremost, our focus is on empowering women and growing our community of badass females in Austin! This means that we have a unique approach to self-defense and what brings people through our doors. Each of our owners and instructors have very specific reasons that they began their training in Krav Maga, and you can bet that we each carry our own reasons for wanting to be able to defend ourselves (including past trauma!).

Whether you are looking to defend yourself against a specific threat, need to feel empowered due to past experiences, are part of a minority group that experiences discrimination, or have just heard one too many catcalls, we have a space for you at Warrior Woman.

Our Warrior Woman classes are our most popular classes because there’s a magic that happens when you get a bunch of strong, striving women together. Only female instructors lead Warrior Woman classes. We focus on real-life threats, such as being grabbed in a bar, an attack when you’re lying in bed, home invasions, how to attack when you’re carrying something in your arms (a child, luggage, groceries, your badass boxing gloves, etc.), and how to defend yourself when your attacker is potentially larger and stronger than you.

Warrior Woman classes provide a space where women are encouraged to leave societal expectations at the door and let loose. This means that we discourage staying quiet, uttering unnecessary apologies, and defining your body’s value by what it looks like. Instead, we ROAR and make noise, we take up space, and we celebrate what our variety of bodies can do in ways that we never expected.
