Class Information

The class is designed to give the basic knowledge and skills to help deal with a violent attack, and develop a personal protection plan. The class will stress the importance of knowing your surroundings, being aware of potentially dangerous situations at home, work, school, or at the mall. The class will also cover self-defense techniques that really work and some common sense preventative measures to incorporate into your lifestyle. You will learn how to punch and kick correctly, escape from being grabbed, and other simple yet effective techniques. Also covered will be realistic self-defense tool such as pepper sprays, stun guns, personal alarms, and other non-lethal defense options.

Students will be exposed to three (3) hours of Safety Awareness/Self Defense information, tips, skills, and techniques within an intimate and fun atmosphere.

Class sizes will be relatively small allowing instructor to critique student’s performance and provide important feedback.

The class will provide a critical personal safety plan. In the class students will learn:
