Personal Safety & Self Defense for Women
A woman’s personal safety involves more than knowing a few defense techniques. It requires training that infuses keen awareness practices and reliable prevention skills that include evasive action.
Trained by some of the best law enforcement professionals in the field, Myrna Boyer, Master Instructor, has developed an incomparable women’s empowerment curriculum for teaching personal safety and self defense to women and teens. Far from following the usual pattern of technique-heavy training, this is a three-fold program that encompasses:
- Course Room Training in Theory
Color codes of awareness, intuition & sensitivity, mindset, presence, personal boundaries, verbal tone, safety precautions, pre-incident indicators, survival signals, soft focus practices, optimal breathing, the expert use of peripheral vision, stress response reactions, striking areas of the body and the levels of injury inherent to each, evasive actions, and the legalities of self defense.
- Practical Defense Techniques
- Scenario-Based, Reality-Defense Training
Creating forward pressure, strikes, kicks, escapes for a varied number of holds including rear and frontal choke holds, grabs and ground holds, grabs or chokes; knife and firearm defense; principles for engaging and/or disengaging and creating a reactionary gap; defensive re-directs; and use of the Four C’s (Cover, Coil, Clear, Contact) to recover from a surprise assault.
An extensive use of scenarios that test the student’s ability to make rational decisions under stressful circumstances based on the presence or absence of a threat. The student must be able to determine if a threat is present, and when it is, must be able to either take appropriate evasive action or mount an effective defense.
Classes are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 pm to 8 pm. Cost is $125.00 per month. Call 915-637-5451 for registration information.
