Program Description

Event Details

This adult workshop will cover several basic strikes and escape techniques, along with an understanding of the concepts that make them effective for use in self defense. Many of the concepts are applications of simple math, physics and engineering principles. This workshop will include partnering with a fellow attendee to practice the physical aspects of self defense. Attendees will be able to present “what if” scenarios that concern them and learn how to defend or escape. 

Topics may include discussion on situational awareness, maintaining control when feeling vulnerable, reaction vs. response when a threat is present, and the safety trap that we experience when we are in our comfort zones. We will do some basic escapes from grabs to understand how these discussion topics apply during self defense situations. Presented by Strictly Self Defense.

Registration required.
