Program Description

Event Details

Self Protection & Predator Awareness classes

Every year, 7.5 million people are stalked in the United States. Additionally, 15% of women and 6% of men have reported experiencing stalking victimization (Stalking Resource Center, Stalking Fact Sheet, 2015). Improve your personal safety by arming yourself with knowledge to avoid potentially dangerous situations, and learning simple, effective tactics to escape an attacker. Our course is taught by highly qualified former highway patrol troopers.  This course is split into two sections. During the two-hour classroom portion, the instructor will arm attendees with the knowledge to recognize, avoid and handle stalkers and predators. Students will also learn tips for keeping children and other family members safe. Then, attendees will receive two hours of hands-on training where they will learn techniques to escape an attacker. These escape tactics are simple and can be easily used by people of any size or strength, making it the perfect substitute for your traditional self-defense course. Appropriate for those 13 years and older. Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable or loose fit clothing.  

In keeping with accepted educational standards, the size of the class will be limited to 24 students.

A meal will be provided during this course by MMPL.
