Self Defence in the Bag!

Did you know your bag or backpack is full of stuff that you can use to defend yourself? In this workshop, our certified Pretty Deadly Trainer Jennifer Morais will show you how!

You’ve got keys. Lip balm. Half a protein bar. An existential crisis in a scrunchie.Congratulations: you’re armed!

Most self defense classes tell you to carry pepper spray.We say: carry your favorite bag.And learn how to actually use it.

Come join us and learn how all the pretty little treasures floating around your favorite bag can be deadly too.

What You'll Learn

√ How to actually use those keys you’re gripping on your walk home

√ How to turn any of the random stuff in your bag into a self defense tool (yes, even tissues)

And then we’ll teach you how to do it yourself: how to assess any object for self defense use, even if you’ve never had any training.
