Walking through a parking lot alone and feeling uneasy? Getting a weird vibe from a stranger on the sidewalk? Many of us have been there. In a January 2018 survey of 1,000 women nationwide, 81% reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment, assault, or both in their lifetime. Even if you've personally never felt yourself in a situation that made you feel physically unsafe, having reassurance about your next steps (and what you can do to help yourself should the unfortunate circumstance ever happen) can make all the difference. This is a special program just for the ladies - all ages, teenagers and up. There are special forms to fill out, due to the specific nature of this program. Part of the class is spent going over personal safety and situational awareness. Participants will then 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 designed for women
