APRIL 2019 SEXUAL ASSAULT
AWARENESS & PREVENTION MONTH

What the numbers tell, and don’t
“Solo travel by women has grown in popularity year after year, according to travel industry studies.
Hostel world, an online hostel-booking platform, found in a 2018 study that bookings by solo female travelers increased by 45 percent from 2015 to 2017, compared with a 40 percent increase for men.” See article

Greetings SBKM Community and Welcome to April! Congratulations to all those who belt tested on March 23rd. Everyone worked extremely hard and left it all on the mat showing true heart and dedication to your training. Thank you to students that came to support testers and participated in the fight portions of the higher belt testing to push our belt candidates to their limits. The adult belt ceremony will be held today Friday April 5th at 6pm. Wear your SB Krav T-shirt and invite your friends and family to share in your accomplishment. There will be NO COMBAT CARDIO to accommodate for the belt ceremony.

April is sexual assault awareness month, and as always, we will be hosting a Women’s Self-Defense close quarter Seminar on Saturday April 27th from 11am-12:30am. $20 per person, no experience required, open to women ages 12 and up. As a special treat for this month’s seminar, non-members that participate in this seminar will be entered in a raffle at the end of the seminar for a FREE Private lesson with Ms. Leana. We cannot stress enough how vital these introduction seminars are to be spread word of mouth and via flyers provided for handing out to friends, co-workers and family. Everyone deserves to walk in peace, and for many, walking into a self-defense studio can be intimidating. The seminars are a great introduction for women of all ages and levels of experience. As a special thank you from Ms. Leana to SBKM members that continuously participate in these seminars to empower women in our community leading by example, SBKM members that participate will be entered in a raffle for a FREE training knife!

Be sure to get into the studio and train! Remember if you want to drop into a combat cardio it is only a $5 drop-in for members. If you want to add it to your current plan be sure to talk to SBKM staff at the front desk for further details. Each member of SBKM are valued and we cannot thank you enough for your continued support and dedication to your training. Keep an eye out for our May newsletter where we will have more new seminars that are fun, informative, and above all, allow you to walk in peace.
