A self defense course is being offered to help train up and prepare women while supporting local end-of-life care.
Sarah Draht and StrongHER, who won the 2026 Enterprize Challenge with Vernon’s first women’s only kickboxing and self defense academy, will host a community self-defense workshop Saturday, October 17.
“I’m doing this because there is a gap in practical safety education, and we need to fill it – this work is too important,” Draht explained in a release.
“You want to be prepared ahead of time, not trying to figure things out in the middle of a bad situation. It’s about putting tools in your toolbelt early so you know how to respond. The goal is always to get home safely.”
