Public Self Defense: Hosted By QPS
April 15, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Open to Active and non active members!!! Bring water. Dress athletic. Be ready to be bare foot.
Join us and build community, trust, and the readiness for if ever and when ever harrassment and hate crimes take place in Seattle and on the hill. We are meeting Sunday, April 15th at seven star women’s kung fu at 7pm.
Learn physical intervention training for executing techneques to dismantle aggresors for when the unthinkable happens and verbal cues are just not good enough.
Racists, bigots, misogynist…
The alt right, neo nazis, proud boys…
The unpredictability of how SPD typically interacts with the general public… (Charleena Lyles&Tommy Lee to name a few…)
All these things previously listed can not and should not be trusted.
This is where QPS comes in. We have been orginizing and training for over a year now and our active members and self defense trainer are offering our time and resources to learn how to defend one self. We aim the focus of empowering Queers&qtpoc to self defense. (Of course allies are welcomed too…)
Learn self defense and join QPS if that truly resonates with you. Develop the skills to protect yourself, your loved ones, Seattle’s most at risk, its most vulnerable, and marginalized to feel safe to bar hop or just walk around the city safely and without fear. Stop hate crimes before they start. Learn how to intervene if and when it is necessary.
The building has one small step going up upon entering the building and right before stepping on the mat. For those physically unable or feel uncomfortable to physically engage, that’s okay. You are more than welcome to come watch and learn through the power of watching and listening. We’re a friendly and accepting group.
