Alpha Kappa Alpha Hosts Self-Defense Workshop
Alpha Kappa Alpha teamed up with Stanford Boxing Club for "Pretty Protected", a self-defense workshop that emphasized fighting smarter — not harder.
The high-energy workshop, held at Roble Arts Gym, featured a session led by coaches to the beat of Rihanna's "Breakin' Dishes", with the mantra
"Jab, cross, uppercut, repeat".
Organized by AKA's Xi Beta chapter and the Stanford Boxing Club, the event aimed to teach women to practice self-defense with confidence.
- The workshop was described as
"a lot of fun, a lot of good energy"
by coach Nia Patton '25. - Patton noted it was great to see people interested in self-defense and boxing, whether for working out or feeling more confident.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, founded in 1908, was the first Black Greek-letter sorority in the country.
