ABOUT THE CLASS:

As a martial artist, Jacqui Jacoby is interested in self-defense and
how women are portrayed in the media. At first, it seemed as if it
was only Hollywood showing women in a tough light. With heroines such
as Sarah Conner of the Terminator movies, and Ellen Ripley in the
Alien films, women were the ones saving the day when men were being
blown up or eaten. This workshop covers such topics as how to portray
tough chick heroines. We will discuss different types of self-defense
techniques and how to build a tough chick heroine from the inside
out. What kind of women make up the tough chicks and what are they
like in their everyday lives? What drives them to become tough? What
kind of hero must stand beside her and what kind of villains will she
face?
