Girls emPOWERment Experience will offer an eight-week “Self Defense Sundays” course in Pacific Palisades, which begins on April 7.
“This new and exciting group takes our mission and one-of-a-kind program—empowering every girl with confidence, courage and connection to ‘be her own hero’ through movement, mindfulness, mindset and mental health,” read a description, “and it expands it with an incredible foundation of life skills through self-defense and martial arts that will keep them strong, safe, resilient and capable as they navigate life.”
Each 90-minute session in the course will allow for “exploration of our inner and outer worlds” via “age-appropriate self-defense/martial arts,” fitness, situational awareness, mindfulness, nature time, meditation and breathwork. The course also includes conversations woven into each session about confidence, self-awareness, courage, strength, mindsets, self-talk and more.
The course will be led by Josh Wingate, who has more than 30 years of experience in the field of martial arts, as well as 20 years of experience working with children, teenagers and young adults.
“His ability to connect to the individual, inspire, and empower and bring out the best in them is unparalleled,” the statement continued. “He makes learning fun, while challenging the individual and group to reach new heights in mind, body and soul.”
Girls emPOWERment Experience—operated by Palisadian Mauri Wingate—offers movement, mindfulness, mindset and mental health programs for confidence, courage and connection.
The group will meet at Temescal Park at 10 a.m. The eight-week series is available for $555.
