EMPOWER YOURSELF!

So I've been doing some reading lately and discovered that right here in our bayridge neighborhood their are women who have been battered, abused, mugged and even molested. Now as a women's health club we here at Silhouette are outraged by this. Unfortunately we simply live in a society that teaches women to be coy and submissive. Woman are taught that fighting is not the answer and that at best we should yell for help when apprehended. Well as a company we do not agree with this idea at all, and as a woman myself I REALLY do not agree. We are strong, resilient and powerful! For one we were given the gift and strength to create human life but even more amazing to give birth to that life. We bond our families together and multi task work, home,kids and even beauty at the sametime. We help the kids with homework, cook dinner, run the laundry, iron the clothes, bring home the bacon, and look damn good while doing it. Yet your telling me at our best we can only scream for help when all of that is at stake?

I DON'T THINK SO! So in order to prove just how strong we women really are Silhouette will be holding a 10 week self defense course taught by Elba Melendez. Elba is a trainer here at our club most of you know her as "cookie" but more than that she is an 8th degree black belt and a nationally acredited Kickboxer. She has been kind enough to offer us her services for a minimal cost and this will be open to the public as well. So bring your family and friends because every woman you know should be a part of this. Each self defense class will be $25.00 and the course will be 10 classes long. You will learn everything from how to avoid a confrontation to how to react once in a confrontation, and how to defend yourself when being attacked. Please take these courses if you can, it can potentially save your life! Just comment to let us know you'd like to sign up so we can get everything into motion and start empowering ourselves today!
