Designed to empower women through education and practical skill-building, this interactive workshop will provide participants with valuable self-defense techniques, increased situational awareness, and greater confidence in everyday life. Unlike a traditional presentation, this event will include hands-on instruction, allowing participants to practice practical self-defense techniques in a safe and supportive environment. Ed Messmer is a 5th Degree Black Belt Master in Tae Kwon Do with 30 years of martial arts experience as an instructor. In addition to Tae Kwon Do, Ed studies Krav Maga Martial Arts, incorporating practical self-defense techniques into his instruction. During Confidence Night Out, Ed will lead participants through hands-on self-defense techniques designed to increase situational awareness, improve personal safety, and build confidence in real-world situations.
