Program Information:
The Safety Team's Level I Women's Self Defense Program teaches simple, powerful, and effective personal protection strategies that are easy to understand and remember. Participants learn how to recognize predatory behavior before it becomes a threat, diffuse it verbally, if possible, and to apply effective physical self-defense techniques, if necessary.
The 2 hour introductory women's self-defense program includes a focus on:
* Recognizing pre-assault behavior
* Ways to deter or avoid an attack before it becomes physical
* How predators think and what they look for in their victims
* Decision making around lifestyle choices that minimize vulnerability yet maintain personal freedom
* How to find the inner strength to fight back.
* Basic self-defense techniques that are easy to execute yet effective
Level II:
* Interactive mini review of the basic information
* Review of basic strikes, practice and instruction of additional strikes
* Ground work
* Defenses against common attacks
* Discussion of pepper spray/mace
