The briefing

When people hear the words "self defense" it usually provokes thoughts of breaking choke-holds, body slamming assailants, and crotch-kicking bad guys… well, we're here to show you that self defense is so much more than that! In this course you will learn how to better identify a dangerous situation BEFORE it escalates to the point of a physical attack and ways to avoid becoming the victim of a violent crime. You will also learn how to make a good FIRST decision. This course includes an interactive lecture, practical exercise and practice using pepper spray. Though we think it is important to experience exposure to live pepper spray, we will not be doing that in this class as we will be practicing with inert (water).

This course is ideal for ages 13 and up. Anyone under the age of 18 must attend with a paying parent and/or guardian.

Each participant will leave with a FREE POM Pepper Spray. We will have extra canisters on hand for purchase ($15 each).
