Alpha Kappa Alpha teamed up with Stanford Boxing Club for "Pretty Protected", a self-defense workshop that emphasized fighting smarter — not harder.
"Jab, cross, uppercut, repeat" — all to the beat of Rhianna’s "Breakin’ Dishes" — made for a high-energy self-defense workshop at Roble Arts Gym Wednesday night.
The event was organized by the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA)’s Xi Beta chapter in collaboration with the Stanford Boxing Club, aiming to teach women to practice self-defense with confidence.
"It was a lot of fun, a lot of good energy," said Nia Patton ’25, one of the coaches leading the session. "It was great to see so many people interested, whether it’s self-defense or boxing, whether they’re here to work out or to feel a little bit more confident as they’re going about their lives."
Founded in 1908, AKA was the first Black Greek-letter sorority in the country.
