WOMEN EMPOWERED

Women Empowered is a free women’s self-defense class designed to teach women of any age and any size how to defend themselves against common chokes, grabs, bear hugs, and other attacks often used by aggressors. With a continual weekly class where review of skills is central, it’s a wonderfully flexible atmosphere for women who need to miss a week, or for women who just now want to join the class!

The class is led by Ray Shonk, a certified National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM) Master Trainer and a certified Master Instructor of Tai Chi from the America Tai Chi & Qigong Association. With is 35+ years of martial arts experience, the skills women will learn have been proven effective. As a Master Trainer, Ray is fully capable of adapting any of the techniques to fit any body type or physical limitation.

Our goal at Quest Fitness is for women learning self-defense skills is to help them benefit physically so they can protect themselves, but also mentally in order to build self-esteem, build confidence, and build a community of supportive women.
