We teach Empowerment Self Defense, and that's Different.
It’s recognizing that you have strength in your body to execute simple and effective physical resistance moves. But it’s also about giving you confidence and skills to empower your everyday life.
SETpoint training will teach you how to:
- Maximize your body’s inherent strengths, including your senses and your intuition;
- Pick up and react to clues in your environment;
- Recognize healthy and unhealthy behaviors in relationships;
- Set your own boundaries and respect the boundaries that others set;
- Practice punches, kicks, and other self-defense moves at a physical level appropriate for your body;
- Be an active bystander to help others in need.
Level 2 Advanced Session
Date/Time: February 10, 2023 from 5:30 - 8:30pm
Location: Shaolin Studios, 1115 S. Braddock Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15218

In this advanced session we will:
- Begin with a review of principles discussed in Level 1 and practice the fundamental skills we learned in that session;
- Discuss and practice more advanced physical resistance skills, including releases from a variety of holds and grabs.
- Consider additional ways that we can use the tools of Empowerment Self-Defense to be active bystanders to help others in need.
SETpoint coaching is inclusive, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered. You’ll leave feeling strong, energized, and empowered!
