Samantha Taylor Fitness- Women's Self Defense Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu Program - Carrollwood

The Samantha Taylor Fitness Carrollwood locations is excited to announce is now offering a women's martial arts self-defense training program. This program is a Carrollwood exclusive, but open to all Samantha Taylor Fitness members. Classes will be held Monday evenings 6:30-7:30 pm. We are offering this training in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback received by members following our women's self-defense training class series offered this past July.

Samantha Taylor Fitness (CWD location only) is offering an ongoing Women's Self Defense Program. The program will be instructed by Drew Bloom and assisted by Sara Couture, the Carrollwood location's head trainer. The program focuses on Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu. Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu is a self-defense focused martial art and is not intended for sport.

The class would be offered one evening per week (members get it free once a week, non-members pay $15). Attendees will learn basic self defense techniques with the opportunity to increase in skill. Members should not expect this to be an exercise class like our bootcamps and personal training, although exercise and fitness are most certainly an integral and beneficial portion of this program. Inquiries and / or to sign-up for the program should be directed to Sara at the studio (if you are not training with us, call 813-377-3739 for more details).

If you know you want to do the class, go here to pay for your class, there are discounts for multiple sessions purchased. Click here.
