Hit Like a Girl!

Hit Like a Girl! is self-defense for women, created by women.

Sign Up Now - coming summer 2018

In Hit Like A Girl, we break down self-defense into two main sections: Prevention of assault, and Response to assault.

Prevention

Read below a list of things we practice to help prevent assault from occurring.

• Empowerment
• Self-Confidence
• Assertive speech
• Setting boundaries
• Situational awareness
• Safety at night, in parking lots, in other unsafe places
• Encouragement to challenge rape culture and misogyny to create a safer society for future women

NOTE: We DO NOT victim-blame, tell women what to wear, or how to act. We believe each woman has a right to personal safety, and that no one ever deserves to be assaulted. However, we do share certain tips to keep ourselves out of potentially dangerous situations.

Response

Here are some of the things we practice to teach women safe and effective ways to respond to assault situations.

• Training fight/flight/freeze response into "fight" mode
• Pre-positioning
  
• Striking & blocking
  
• Vital points on male and female bodies
• Hip power & yelling
  
• Endurance, agility, strength
  
• How to escape from grabs
• Defense from a seated position, from a prone position
• Using environment and objects
