Join us for a self-defense workshop at GYOPO's Koreatown space, led by Alex Paik. We will cover a simplified curriculum covering the ranges of attack (clinching/grappling, striking, and weapons), focusing on techniques that would be practical for a street altercation against a larger opponent.

Please wear comfortable workout clothes, sneakers, and bring a notebook and your water bottle. All equipment will be provided. Femme and Gender Expansive/Nonconforming community members will be given priority admission to this workshop which will be capped at 14 people. If you have already taken this workshop, please feel free to sign up again if you would like some more practice!
