Let’s tell the truth about it...
Approximately 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. With many of these occurrences going unreported, the numbers aren’t changing.

Self-defense training has shown to not only prevent targeted attacks, but it can also help women with PTSD after an attack.

Two Forty Four is honored to host a Women’s Self-Defense series with Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt, Heather Raftery. livewildandwonder

In these classes, you will learn the basics of self-defense, from mental awareness and preparedness, to practicing strikes and escapes in a safe and controlled environment with a highly-experienced professional.

Repetition matters, but it’s not mandatory. Each class will review the basic information, create time for practice, and build off of those skills.

ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY FOR EVERY CLASS. You are welcome to come to 1, 2, or all 3.

Have a special woman in your life? ALL WOMEN ARE WELCOME. These events are open to all women, so grab your bestie, your mom, your daughter, your sister, AND your grandma. You never know… It may change their lives.

COST: $0 aka FREE

Heather believes creating accessibility to self-defense is a right for all women. This event is offered at NO COST. However, we will be accepting donations for a 501(c)3 non-profit near and dear to Heather’s heart, Reblossom Charity .

ReBlossom is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to providing uninsured and underinsured women in Southern Arizona with access to breast reconstruction and holistic healing on their journey beyond breast cancer. https://reblossomaz.org/
