Teen Self Defense with Ohio Martial Arts

Your teen can learn practical self-defense skills during this one-hour session led by Senpai Shelly Blanco of Ohio Martial Arts. The instructor makes the class engaging and accessible, breaking down techniques in a way that's straightforward and enjoyable rather than intimidating. This is a great opportunity for young people to build confidence and learn real-world safety skills in a supportive environment. The session is designed for teens ages 11–17 and will be held in the library's large meeting room. There are 20 spots available, so registering ahead of time is recommended. If you have questions about what to bring or wear, the Point Place Library team can help—just give them a call at 419.259.5390.
