Event Details
Event Details
The afternoon will start 2pm with a FREE self defense seminar at Pure JiuJitsu, Carrboro’s only jiu-jitsu academy. They focus on making high-level jiu jitsu training readily available to the most vulnerable, offering classes for the community and also classes that are specific to women and non-binary folks. Sign up for the seminar at the registration link here.
Recommended attire: Workout clothes, like you would wear to the gym or to a yoga class. We recommend flip flops, since we’ll be barefoot on the mat. You will be up close and personal with your training partners! For everyone’s safety and comfort, please be prepared to remove any jewelry that could snag or poke, and avoid heavy makeup that could come off on other people’s clothes.
After the seminar, Steel String Brewery’s taproom in Downtown Carrboro (a 2 min walk from PJJ!) will be hosting a post-seminar social, gathering folks from the class and the community to raise funds for PJJ and their Women’s Self Defense Scholarship fund. This fund gives women and non-binary folks a chance to train in self defense and build their confidence without financial barriers.
If you cannot make either of these events, please consider signing up for a class and/or making a donation to the fund via Venmo to @Megan-Katsaounis. 100% of your donations will go towards helping women & nonbinary people learn jiu jitsu.
