The term self-defense can be misleading. Most people assume a scenario where you are already being assaulted, and you have a special technique to neutralize your attacker. However, self-defense shouldn't only help you focus on tactical evasion techniques but also become more in touch with your survival instincts. Respond with Empowerment and Awareness to Defend Yourself (R.E.A.D.Y.) is a special program just for the ladies – all ages, teenagers and up are invited. Participants are asked to dress comfortably. There are special forms to complete due to the specific nature of this program. Part of the class is spent going over personal safety and situational awareness. Participants will also learn a series of moves they can perform if they ever feel threatened or are faced with a potential assault. Registration is limited to 20 participants.

Purpose: Learn basic self-defense and situational awareness
