TG Self Defense Class
The Transgender Center is happy to announce a new TG Self-Defense class! Beginning Sunday, June 13th (3 – 5 PM) the TG Center will host a monthly defense class designed to meet the needs of the transgender population, lead by professional self-defense teacher, Dakao Do.
About the Class:
This 2-hour class will address 3 key topics of self-defense: confidence, awareness, and physical confrontation. You will learn to assess and avoid high-risk situations, communicate clearly and strongly, and use simple physical movements to protect yourself.
About the Instructor:
Dakao Do has 11 years’ experience in martial arts (kung fu, muay thai, aikido, taijiquan, European hand weapons, escrima), modern combatives (Systema), and other violent studies which have almost nothing to do with self-defense. He has found fighting experience and athletic skills to be wonderful confidence builders and a solid foundation, but no more than that. Dakao has also trained in parkour for 3 years, which teaches the much more important self-defense skills of situational assessment and running away effectively. Finally and most relevantly, he has experienced, studied, and explored the dynamics of social confrontation and exploitation in clubs, parties, and a family of 7.
