Alpha Kappa Alpha Hosts Self-Defense Workshop

Alpha Kappa Alpha teamed up with Stanford Boxing Club for "Pretty Protected", a self-defense workshop.

The event emphasized fighting smarter, not harder, with a high-energy session at Roble Arts Gym.

"Jab, cross, uppercut, repeat" — all to the beat of Rhianna’s "Breakin’ Dishes"

Organized by AKA's Xi Beta chapter and Stanford Boxing Club, the workshop aimed to teach women self-defense with confidence.

"It was a lot of fun, a lot of good energy,"

said Nia Patton '25, one of the coaches.

AKA, founded in 1908, was the first Black Greek-letter sorority in the country.

Author's summary: The workshop taught women self-defense techniques with confidence.
