PSW - Personal Security for Women
Starting in January 2025, ZenQuest will offer a new class called 'Personal Security for Women' or PSW. The class will provide strategies from a variety of martial arts designed to enable smaller people to deal with serious threats effectively. This will include stance and footwork, defensive positioning, effective blocking and striking, and escapes from common holds and restraints.
Instructor - The PSW class will be taught for women and by women! The lead instructor will be Connie Flynn of ZenQuest. Sensei Connie has over 30 years of experience in various martial arts and self-defense training including: Uechi-Ryu Karate, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Thai Kickboxing. Additional support will be provided from other female instructors from ZenQuest.
Schedule - The class will be held on Tuesdays at 5PM starting on January 7, 2025. The duration of the class will be 45 minutes and will run in 12-week cycles. Participants should wear regular athletic clothing like a t-shirt, Under Armor shirt, and shorts or yoga pants, or sweats. A pair of kickboxing/ boxing gloves will also be required for the class.
Participation - Students can choose to only participate in the PSW class and will qualify for our 'Partial Participation' tuition rates for that. This is normally reserved for ages 7 and younger, although the minimum age for PSW is 13.
Costs - For new students our 'start-up' special will be a good option for this, since at $249, it provides an equivalent monthly rate of $83 and a credit towards the gloves required for the class (or other equipment.) Participants enrolling this way would also enjoy unlimited participation at ZenQuest, enabling them to try any of the other age-appropriate classes in the schedule. Reserve a spot via the start-up special by clicking HERE. Participants can choose to enroll monthly with a cost of $94 per month (discounts for longer enrollments or family participation.) Currently enrolled students may participate in the PSW class at no additional cost.
Space will be limited for ZenQuest's PSW classes so please contact us to reserve a spot. Questions and reservations can also be made by calling 413-637-0656 or emailing [email protected]. A printable flyer is also available to share HERE.
