Self-Defense & Awareness — April 23rd, 2026

Date: Apr 23rd

Please join our martial arts / self-defense class on Thursday, April 23rd from 7:00 - 8:00pm!

Gym attire is suggested: sweat / track pants, t-shirt, sneakers / closed-toe shoes. Bring a water bottle, we have a cooler. Please allow for #FixTheMTA delays so we can all start on time!

We have been teaching free, ongoing classes for NYC-DSA members since January 2023! All experience levels are welcome — you haven't "missed" anything, each class is geared to who is there. New attendees will learn fundamentals and frequent participants can practice more advanced material.

While the material is practical and you'll get a workout, safety and comfort are our top concerns: techniques are practiced slow-motion in the air or on supervised partners for precision and knowledge, and power is only used when striking the instructor's pads.

If you have not already, you must complete our general interest form + sign our standard waiver at bit.ly/dsa-dojo — where we'll update the class schedule

Please note classes are for members only — i.e., adults. We are not able to provide childcare because of the nature of the class and the small size of the office.
