In the past few weeks, our Bilingual Self-Defense class has been growing and our skills have been improving! A total of 14 people have been participating in this space, reading articles where attackers have been successfully fought off, discussed the concept of "safe community" and what it would mean to feel completely safe in your home neighborhood, practiced techniques such as escaping wrist grabs, choke holds, hair pulls, etc. In our last session, we began developing our sense of intuition and our ability to sense and avoid potentially dangerous situations. In our next session, we will continue to develop this skill along with other more technical techniques with women and transgendered folks from different communities. We are committed to creating a radical space where queer/straight, Spanish/English speaking women and trans people of all races can explore and share their techniques for living in urban spaces without fear.

En los ultimos meses, nuestra clase de Auto-Defense Biligue ha crecido y nuestras habilidades han mejorado! Un total de 14 personas han estado participando en este espacio, leyendo articulos donde mujeres han peleado con exito, discutido el concepto de "comunidad segura" y como seria sentirse totalmente segura en su propio vecindario, practicado tecnicas como escapando agares de muñeca, ahorcos, si te jalan el pelo, etc. En nuestra ultima sesion, empezamos a desarollar nuestro sentido de intuicion y nuestra habilidad de sentir y evitar situaciones peligrosas. En nuestra proxima sesion, vamos a continuar a desarollar esta habilidad practicando mas tecnicas con mujeres y transgeneras de diferentes comunidades. Estamos comprometidos a crear un espacio radical donde personas queer/heterosexuales, que hablan ingles y Español, mujeres y personas transgeneras de todas razas pueden explorar y compartir sus tecnicas de como vivir en espacios urbanos sin miedo.
