WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE TRAINING CLASS
CLASSES WILL BE LIMITED TO 10 PARTICIPANTS
The WRPD Women's Self-defense Class typically focuses on empowering individuals to:
· Develop awareness: This involves recognizing potentially dangerous situations and trusting your instincts.
· Practice de-escalation techniques: Learn verbal and non-verbal strategies to avoid confrontation and diffuse tense situations.
· Gain self-defense skills: These may include basic strikes, escapes from grabs, and situational awareness exercises practiced in a safe and controlled environment.
Remember, the primary goal of self-defense is to avoid conflict and stay safe. These classes can equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to navigate potentially risky situations effectively.
The class typically lasts 3-4 hours, depending on the number of participants and involvement. The first part of the class is a PowerPoint presentation followed by basic strikes, escapes from grabs, and situational awareness exercises practiced in a safe and controlled environment.
