"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," particularly where a women's self-defense is concerned. This class will give you the confidence and help you to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations. The instructor will frankly discuss the profiles of rapists and will teach you safety precautions for use in the home, on the telephone or in public situations. You'll get some basic strikes, kicks, wrist and choke releases in addition to ground and rape defenses. "Fantastic class - every woman should take it at least once!" "Great instructors!", very relevant and helpful. "We were made to feel very comfortable." are comments from previous students regarding this class.

Due to the nature of the material, girls ages 13-17 may attend only if accompanied by an adult. No prior training necessary. Wear comfortable clothing and tennis shoes.
