Description
In America there are 31 million crimes committed every day, that is one every second. Every five minutes there is a rape, every 2-5 minutes there is a sexual assault and, every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted by a man. According to the Department of Justice between 20% and 25% of women will experience a completed and/or attempted rape during their college career. What have you done to prepare yourself or your daughter for this very real threat? This class was created to help young females prepare themselves for exactly these types of threats not only in a college setting, but anywhere. Students will be taught to listen to their intuition in order to help identify and avoid obvious threats to their safety. If the threat is unavoidable, the students will be taught some very basic and retainable self-defense moves to help them escape. The class is ideal for mothers and daughters to take together, as it starts a dialogue that needs to happen.. The class is part lecture/part defensive moves/escapes. All proceeds to support Project Graduation.
Instructors: Chief of Police, Paul Fenton and School Resource Officer, Dave Galvan
