Basic Self Defense Class Description

Students will learn not only physical skills, but ways to avoid potentially dangerous situations in the first place. This can be achieved by sharpening their natural intuitive abilities as well as learning how to use their voice. Body language and carriage is also a large part of the training program, as criminals often 'case' their victims based on how they physically portray themselves. We also discuss and demonstrate personal weapons which can be used in the case of an attack. (Let's just say that the poor melon was on the receiving end and didn't have a chance!)

Self Defense II - TBA
Course Fee: $69    
Instructor: S. Gallagher

This class adds itself to the Basic Women's self-defense, but can also be taken by itself. In this class you will learn how to use everyday weapons to your advantage as well as how to defend against a knife attack. Many areas will be explored from being attacked at your car to being attacked in your house. This class is both fun and an informative way to build upon what you may already know as well as help empower you as an individual.
