Women's
Safety & Personal Defense The 4- hour
course is designed to increase participants’ awareness of personal
safety protection through lecture of personal safety practices and
demonstration of simple self defense techniques. Students will be
provided with techniques to defend and neutralize these assaults
both on their feet and on the ground. Students can try the simple
skills under instruction if they wish during the course of
instruction. The 6 hour course is an expanded version of the 4 hour
course designed to allow for more student participation in acquiring
the physical skills.
Course Overview:
The course will
span preventative psychology, survival awareness and develop defense
strategies with identification and profiling of potential stranger
offenders. Additionally, with domestic violence being a leading
cause of injuries to women ages 15-44), the course will
explore the importance of understanding powerful communication
skills in preventing advance of aggressors from verbal attack to
physical assault Defensive tactics strategies for incident
response management will be covered for the participants through
voluntary participation. A personal security and safety devices
display and discussion will also be included. Just by having a plan,
some good training and changing your mind set from, “it won’t happen
to me” or “if it happens to me”, to “When it happens” can have
drastic effect on the outcome of an assault. It could mean the
difference of “fighting a loosing battle” or “being the winner of
the fight”.
