Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an empowering and informative self-defense workshop led by Melissa Myers, a nationally and internationally ranked judoka for Team USA.

Melissa has been certified in self-defense instruction and teaching classes since 2014. She currently trains at the Jason Morris Judo Center in Glenville, NY, as she works toward her goal of competing in the 2028 Olympic Games.

This 90-minute class will guide participants through practical and easy-to-remember self-defense strategies designed for real-world situations.

  • Learn how to protect yourself starting with non-physical defense techniques
  • Build progressively to handling more extreme scenarios
  • Practice simple, effective techniques designed to be remembered and used confidently
  • Participate in a Q&A session to discuss specific situations and concerns

This workshop is suitable for a wide range of participants and focuses on building awareness, confidence, and practical skills.  Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement and bring a water bottle.

For adults 18+.  Registration is required.
