Women In Control
“Women In Control“
New! Women In Control is a class for women to learn about self-defense and how it applies to rape, sexual assault and physical abuse. The class is 4 weeks long meeting for 1 hour each week. Some of the topics we cover in the class are awareness, who the predators are, basic principals and defensive/offensive techniques. The majority of the class time is spent on the technique portion so that you are prepared in the unfortunate event that you are attacked. Click below to watch some video footage of our last class:
