Virtual Boabom Series: Self Defense
|
|
WEDNESDAYS, September 9, 16, and 23 at 7 PM
|
Learn basic self defense techniques in a fun, positive class. Based in Boabom, a Tibetan system of self-defense, relaxation, and meditation, this class will teach you a variety of simple but effective ways to remain calm in a tense situation and defend yourself should you need to. You will also learn some fundamental breathing and stretching, along with techniques to evade, escape, and defend yourself.
|
All you need to participate are comfortable clothes that you can move around in, enough space to stretch your arms fully, and be able to take a couple of steps. No prior experience is required. All are welcome! This class will be taught by Yemado, Director of the Boston School of Boabom.
