Bellport High School's Center of Excellence Club presented its 2nd
Annual Women's Self-Defense workshop in recognition of Women's History
Month. Bellport HS Social Studies teacher, Mr. J. Scioli, was the guest
instructor. Mr. Scioli is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt with 20
years of martial arts experience. The female student body was invited
to learn techniques in situational awareness and disabling attackers.
The experience was invaluable to the empowerment of our young women and
the workshop will be hosted every year during Women's History Month.
