The workshop focuses on Krav Maga, a simple, effective self-defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques and realistic training scenarios. Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians in the United States. It is also used to build empowerment and self-awareness through learning how to protect oneself.

Proceeds will benefit the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. When Hurricane Katrina hit the area, four of the coalition’s shelters were lost. For more information, call the Women’s Center at 4267-4259, or stop by the center at 1605 University Drive.
