More demonstration of the wrist-technique (twist arm in or out, then up, to loosen their grip, then BOLT) Just two members posing together, having fun Two of the women in the previous post hugging it out after a grueling bout (again, this was an easy-going session with basic self-defense, no real fights).

Some photos from our first meeting and self-defense course!
Member of women's caucus in a gi with a black belt demonstrating techniques Two women mid-battle (really just a practice used to remove hand grasping one's wrist) Two more women mid-battle (one looks like she's falling while the other holds her up, but who knows what was really happening)
