The class teaches seniors basic skills on situational awareness and defense moves. Seniors Fight Back (SFB) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was founded in May 2021 in Southern California by a passionate group of individuals that wanted to help the AAPI community in the midst of rising anti-Asian hate crimes—particularly against the elderly. Since then, SFB has provided the training and resources to 1700+ seniors and others of various age group.
