Mother/Daughter Self-Defense Workshop
This training opportunity is for teen girls and their moms (or other adult female in their life). Including the moms in the training provides the opportunity for great follow-up conversations and review of the training material at home.
In this training, girls and moms will have the opportunity to learn:
- Safety techniques for school, home, and in between
- How to say “No” and mean it
- Assertiveness skills
- Front and rear attack responses
- Training with a male instructor in the role of padded “assailant”
Training time: 6 hours (with 30 minutes added on for lunch break)
Number of participants: 8-14
Cost: $225 per person ($450 per mom/daughter duo)
From a South Pasadena Mom:
“Lauren took the serious topic of self-defense and potential serious situations these girls could encounter and turned it into a fun, meaningful experience that built their skills and confidence. Parents always have to balance the decision between overexposing kids to the realities of our world vs. wanting to teach them skills to protect themselves, and I think Lauren held that balance beautifully. Through her stories of past students and validation of every nervous kind of response a student of hers could have, she put the kids at ease and helped them envision how they might use what she taught them to actually protect themselves. She gave them the permission they needed to act in a way that they are not accustomed to, and she never crossed a boundary that made me as a parent the least bit uncomfortable. In addition, we moms were included and learned a lot ourselves! And finally, her padded attacker, though ominous looking in his padding, was a most gentle and skilled instructor that helped the girls focus their moves and find their inner power.”

I look forward to working with your troop!
