Empowered Graduates

On Monday, November 9th Thousand Waves graduated 25 individuals from our 12-hour self-defense course called "Five Fingers of Self-Defense: Individual and Community Responses to Violence." This four week course – one of the largest ever held on-site at Thousand Waves – had a mix of members and non-members, including teens, parents, and adults. Triston Alvarez and Kate Webster, long time instructors and senior black belts, co-taught the course. According to survey results, graduates left feeling empowered, ready and able to help defend themselves and others.

"I feel more confident and aware walking down the street. I have been able to use words to set boundaries."

"I can now confidently intervene in otherwise uncomfortable situations at my school."

"I think the most beneficial aspects of this course were learning to yell and ground fighting."

"I never knew all of the weapons I have on my body."

So far in 2009, through our Self-Defense Programs, Thousand Waves has brought empowerment, intervention and de-escalation skills to over 600 individuals and to 15 community organizations. Join them! Consider signing up for Thousand Waves first self-defense course of 2010PDF. The course runs four Saturdays, 1:00-4:00pm from January 16th to February 6th.
