EMPOWER-HER ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ช

We trialled our first Empow-her program with great success!
It was a pleasure to deliver these sessions to such an enthusiastic group of mums and daughters. We achieved what we set out to do and that was to share Jiu Jitsu in a fun and educational setting while still developing usable self defense skills! All the laughs, confidence building, and bonding was infectious.

Do you think we need to run another one?
