The Queer Dojo & Lesbian Lifting Club Present: Safe and Strong

About

Self-Defense. Weightlifting. Queer Community. One event. Come join us to learn how to protect yourself and get strong! The Queer Dojo and Lesbian Lifting Club are excited to present Safe & Strong, a queer event combining self-defense and strength training. The day will start with a self-defense training led by Sensei Carol and then an hour of open gym lifting hosted by Jenna Petrungaro of Lesbian Lifting Club. Please bring a yoga mat, comfortable clothing for exercise, and water for hydration. Sensei Carol is a 4th-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate with 30 years of martial arts experience, including teaching, competition, and self-defense. A six-time national champion, she has nine years of experience leading a martial arts program focused on women and transgender people. Through The Queer Dojo, Carol aims to share her passion for martial arts to empower the queer community, build self-confidence and body awareness, and foster a sense of belonging. She believes that every person can learn to defend themselves.
