Tampa Bay-based LGBTQ support group Found Family Collective hosted a self-defense class aimed at the LGBTQ community recently. The event was held in collaboration with the self-defense training company Weapon Brand at Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg. In a news release, Found Family Collective said they were hosting the event “in response to antagonistic legislation and an increase in hate crimes, as well as protest and attack against pride parades and drag events.”
As part of Weapon Brand’s basic self-defense course, attendees learned pre-contact cues, managing distance, defensive framing, how to defend against a punch, choke or grab, and utilizing defensive striking, according to the event description.
Representatives from CAN Community Health, an organization that provides care and education regarding HIV and other STIs, also attended the event to provide sexual health information to attendees.
