Thank you!!

Short version: a friend posted about it on Lex and I went “oh hey, people keep physically threatening me and talking about lynching me, I should learn how to defend myself better as a disabled Black transfemme who uses a cane full time” then started classes. The faction is Strange Fox Fighting Arts, which is (inhales) an anticolonial/antiimperial/antizionist/antifascist/antiracist, covid conscious, transmisogyny-informed, disability-informed, trans-run martial arts faction. (I want to actually say all that because a lot of fash and white supremacists REALLY like other Bataireacht factions bc Irish fetishism)

Cú teaches masked in person classes once or twice a month in DC at Highstyle Jiujitsu (a leftist jiujitsu gym), weekly at SFFA’s gym, and online weekly with options for multiple timezones! You can read more at www.strangefoxfightingarts.com or see more at @bmorebata on ig!

If you’re not interested yourself but would like to help others attend, you can sponsor a class/pass! Email Cú for more details there.
