What is self-defense? continued

Especially for women and children, who are much more likely to be assaulted or abused by someone they know, these skills help in everyday life: at work, in relationships, at school, etc.  

In a Defend Yourself class, you will learn the facts about harassment, abuse, and assault so you can better understand your risks. The more you know about how attacks occur and what can be done to prevent them, the less likely you are to need fighting skills. You will become more aware of your surroundings and learn to trust your intuition. You will learn how to stand up for yourself and how to say no and mean it. And you will learn how and where to hit someone if you need to so you can get to safety.

Whether you’ve already faced abuse or attack, or whether you simply want to prevent one from happening, this class is for you.
