The cost is $80.00 per attendee.  Residency not required.  The course will be taught by a martial arts professional who will train women of all ages basic self defense techniques that may help them get away from an attacker and keep them safe.

Participants will learn basic kicks and strikes, escapes from common attacks such as hair-pulls, chokes, and bear hugs; how to defend yourself on the ground; how to be safe in your car or on the street; and more.  Good health and physical fitness as well as the ability to listen and participate in demonstrations are required.

Physical activity in the class will involve movements such as holds, throws, and strikes that will be first demonstrated by the instructor followed by practice and completion by participants.  The class is limited to 16 participants.  The first 16 qualified applications received will be selected for this class.  You will be notified when the class is full. For an application and more information, visit the Deaborn Hills website at www.dearbornhills.org
