"Real strength is the confidence to be who you are."
In this Hours of Power/No!Go!Yell!Tell! workshop, women and kids will work together to build trust in their awareness, rapidly assess situations and take action. We'll practice using voice and body language to set clear boundaries and respond to unwanted behavior. We'll learn to strike with power, speed, and commitment. Story-telling, role-playing and pad drills in a fun supportive format help develop skills that let us all lead safer, healthier lives.

Jennifer Jordan, a Sloan Executive MBA student, who has been teaching and training martial arts and self-defense to children, women and men for over 23 years will lead the workshop. Jennifer holds a fifth degree blackbelt in the Indonesian martial art of Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen and has taught for schools, colleges and corporations in the US and Europe. She started training Poekoelan when she went looking for a women's self-defense course in college.
