About Shelly’s Self Defense Clinics
Self Defense for Women (and men too.)
Sempai Shelly Blanco, teaches Self-Defense clinics. Most of her clients are women, (but she does teach them for men too). These clinics are typically scheduled by individuals, small groups, or organizations.
Her style of teaching is practical, straight forward, and designed to be fun. Sempai Shelly believes that fear is not the key to staying safe, instead she teaches skills sprinkled with humor and a cautious optimism. Her belief is that through the correct mixture of attitude and technique anyone can learn how to keep themselves and their families safe.
Sempai Shelly’s clinics are 90 minutes long, and designed to be ideal for individuals, companies, groups and organizations. Her fee is $229 for up to 30 participants. For larger groups that might need an extra instructor she charges an extra $60.00 per staff member. (There is an additional charge for events that require more than 20 minute travel time out of the Toledo area.)
This class can be booked by contacting Shelly directly at her email (blancoshelly@gmail.com). In your email please pick out a few dates and times that would work for your group. Generally weekends and weeknights after 8pm will work if you choose to use our facility. There is more flexibility when events are held at your own venue. Pick at least two dates just in case there is a conflict.
Shelly also encourages charitable groups and organization to consider charging a fee themselves for the event to apply to their cause - thus turning the event into an instant fundraiser.
