ILR837 Personal Self Defensive Tactics
1 session, 3 hours
Rape/robbery/assault is not a selective crime, it has no regard
for age, race, or social status. In this class, you will learn basic
common sense rules that can be used to protect yourself before,
during, and after an attack. Research shows that educated
citizens are best equipped to protect themselves. The class has
been described by some students as “an insurance policy you
never want to have to use but which is comforting to have.” The
class is designed for all ages and is strictly classroom based; this is
not a physical class.
