Local Martial Arts Studio Giving Away Free Self Defense Classes For Women

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – While it may not be romantic, a self-defense class is something to consider for any woman living in the city. And in honor of Valentine's Day, a local martial arts and yoga studio is giving away free classes.

Balance Studios, located in Center City and Northeast Philadelphia, says they're giving away a month of free self-defense classes to every woman who wants to learn, starting Valentine's Day and running through March 14th.

"What better gift, than the gift of self confidence and self defense?" the website asks.

The only catch? Anyone who wants to score the month of free classes must "share the love" by posting this link to the announcement on their social media platforms, selecting a self defense class "buddy" to attend with, then calling 215-636-9661 or emailing BalanceCentercity@gmail.com to RSVP.

Class enrollment is cut off at 30 women, and all those attending should be residents of Philadelphia and bring ID.
