Buff Aunt Bria's Ultimate Queer & Trans Karate Club

DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE *chants*

There are so many "uke" techniques! Monday's class will be all about the ones I use the most:

1. Age uke
2. Soto uke
3. Uchi uke
4. Nagashi uke
5. Gedan barai

We'll also be inverting our 'combat puzzle' exercise to help learn to improvise defense under pressure. See you at 5:30pm! DM if you'd like to attend 💖🥋

How to be the girl on the left, not the one on the right! Today's class is about the foundations of karate, striking, movement and how to bridge the gap between traditional karate and modern combat sports.

If you'd like to attend, send us a DM! We're in downtown vancouver.

Monday Aug 24 class is a striking day and today we’re going to work through the basics of striking, and range management. It’s about making sure you’re outside of where someone can hit you, then getting into range so you can hit them.

5:30 sharp, see you then! DM for details if you’d like to attend.

Christina's fighting Bria! *scrambling noises*

Class is on today 17/08, and I'll be going through all the moves and techniques I used (or tried to use) in this now infamous showdown, including how to handle it when someone is bigger or stronger than you.

DM for details if you want to attend!

Monday Aug 10th Karate class is on as usual and it’s a kicking week. Karate kicks are legendary but Muay Thai is also famous for their powerful roundhouses. Let’s compare! 5:30pm - 7pm downtown vancouver, DM for details xo

Bria’s been away, and she came back with these pants for me. Do you recognize them? That’s right, they’re THAI ELEPHANT PANTS because she’s been in Thailand training muay thai!

What does shotokan karate look like after a month of muay thai? Come for class on Monday to find out, 5:30pm - 7pm, downtown Vancouver.

DM for details :)

It's the last week in our block, and since our current CLINCH week is going to be very up close and personal, now is a good time to remind everyone of our code of conduct!

We look after each other through active consent, mutual consideration, and care around potentially dangerous actions.

よろしくお願いします！

This month we're working on defense and our kicking session is no different. Your legs connect you to the ground, and we're going to go through how to stop the rest of your body from ending up there!

karate is ON tonight, no bria for another three weeks so i’m teaching solo again tonight!

the next three weeks we’re working on martial arts fundamentals and this week is the basis for everything: footwork

we will actually be playing DDR, i am so serious

most martial arts classes will teach you increasingly complex systems of wrist escapes which you will invariably misremember

today i suggest a simpler way to get people to let go of you: punch them in the face 🤜😵‍💫

if you'd like to attend, shoot me a DM for the address 💖
