Event Details

Women’s Self-Defense Workshop (4-Hour Intensive)

A practical self-defense workshop for women — no experience needed.

This is a 4-hour intensive designed to give you real, pressure-tested self-defense skills you can use right away.

Forge Krav Maga instructor Tosca Necoechea will lead the workshop and guide you through a simple progression: awareness + boundaries + physical skills — trained in a way that actually holds up under stress.

You don’t need to be athletic.
You don’t need experience.
You don’t need to be “tough.”

You just need to show up.


Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is for:

  • Women ages 12+

  • Total beginners (seriously — no experience needed)

  • Women who want to feel more confident walking in the city

  • Women who want real skills, not theory

  • Women who train already and want to sharpen fundamentals under pressure

Whether it’s your very first time training or you’ve done martial arts before — you’ll leave stronger, clearer, and more confident.


What You’ll Learn

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

  • Escape common grabs, holds, and chokes

  • Strike with power using your body’s strongest weapons

  • Defend against bigger, stronger attackers

  • Recognize danger early and set strong boundaries

  • Build confidence through realistic scenario training

This is not “self-defense choreography.”

It’s practical training built around what tends to happen in real situations — and what actually works.


What to Expect

This workshop is:

  • High-quality, beginner-friendly instruction

  • A focused and supportive environment

  • Practical reps, coaching, and realistic drilling

  • Designed to make you feel capable, not overwhelmed

You’ll leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what matters in self-defense

  • A set of simple skills you can remember

  • More confidence in your decisions (and your voice)
