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.
Instructor: Captain Kirby Lee Maybush retired form the
Frederick County Sheriff’s Office with 45 years of law
enforcement. He has taught self-defense/defensive tactics at
police, sheriff, and correction academies and to military police

and radio in reference to the classes. Several women after
attending CPT Maybush’s classes stated not only were they
able to prevent a sexual/physical assault it also increased their
self-esteem and self-confidence, improved their personal lives,
family ties, and work relationships.
