Join us at
ESD Global Camp
August 4th – 10th, 2019
YMCA International Judo camp, Huguenot, NY
After camp
participants will continue to develop their skills through online seminars, one to one mentoring, and by teaching ESD in their community. Help build the ESD Global movement to make high quality Empowerment Self-Defense training accessible to everyone worldwide to prevent, interrupt, respond to and heal from violence.

The full cost of the program is $2500 per participant. We are committed to making sure that cost is not a barrier to participation.
The goal of ESD Global is to support universal access to Empowerment Self Defense training. One way that we do this is by training motivated women who want to teach ESD who have not been able to access training for many different reasons. Please let us know if you need funding to cover the program cost, travel, lost time at work or additional childcare.
ESD Global Camp 2019 is open to all female-identified persons
The New York Camp Application is due by May 1st 2019
