Upcoming Cohort Course information and discount code


Dear Reader,
​
Thank you very much for your interest in the first Safe Together Cohort Course. I appreciate your patience as planning took more time than expected. I'm very excited to tell you more about the course and offer a discount for those of you ready to sign up.

The Winter 2024 Cohort Course is starting this Sunday, February 11th, from 9-10am at the Flying Tortoise Academy, where I've been holding my workshops. Class will meet weekly on Sundays, 9-10am, and Fridays, 6:30-7:30 for six weeks. Each class will start with 15-20 minutes of check-in and warm ups, followed by 30 minutes of instruction and practice time. The remaining time will be reserved for questions, more practice, and in the later classes, games and specific training meant to safely develop muscle memory and reflexes.

Each of you receiving this email have attended at least one or more of my workshops and/or taken private lessons with me, so you are already familiar with my teaching style and philosophy. I'm offering this cohort course for those who want a way to learn more frequently in community to develop competency in the techniques, dive deeper into the material, and to hone the skills and reflexes to confidently use what you've learned.

The techniques I am covering will be a combination of stand-up and ground techniques. Each class, with a couple of exceptions, will cover both. The speed at which I present the material is dependent on how well students are absorbing the lesson of the day. Here is a sample of what I would like to cover during this cohort course:

  • Combat Base / Trap and Roll Escapes (Standard)
  • Standard Wrist Releases / Trap and Roll Escapes (Punch Block & Wrist Pin variations)
  • Front Choke Defense / Guard Get-ups (Standard & False Surrender variations)
  • Inverted Wrist Releases / Guard Get-ups (Choke variation)
  • Stop-Block-Frame
  • Punch Block Series
  • Elbow Escape / Shirt Choke
  • Rear Choke Defense / Punch Protection

The regular price of the 6-weeks Cohort Course is $180. As a thank you for your support, I'm offering the course at a 20% discount for $144. Please use the discount code "SUPPORTER" at checkout for your discount. The first class is on this Sunday, February 11th.

Dear Reader, I have an announcement regarding the pay-what-you-want monthly workshops that I've been holding since 2022. Starting this Sunday, October 4th, I'm pausing the workshops until further notice. I didn't come to this decision lightly. I've enjoyed teaching the community and showing folks what their bodies are already capable of. I learned as much as I taught about creating an accessible and safe space to learn martial arts, working with folks in all kinds of bodies, and holding space...

Hi y'all, What a heavy and weird day it's been. I was under no illusion that the election of one person over another would fix everything, but certainly the way it went made for grief, fear, discouragement, and lots of heavy feelings. My amazing friend, James-Olivia Chu Hillman, and talented teacher on the skills of relating (IG: @inquisitive_human) sent out this newsletter today and it was exactly the balm I needed. There were no platitudes, bright-siding, nor was there plunging into...

Hi Reader,Did the subject line confuse you? Don't worry, there's no time warp happening here and you are indeed receiving my September newsletter in October. With all my traveling last month, I wasn't able to write and edit my newsletter in time. You will get my full newsletter later this month. I hope you don't mind that this email is going to be short and sweet. October is already shaping up to be a busy month. Thirteen people signed up for this Sunday's workshop and two new people joined...
