Your Sheriff's Office invites women, 14 years and older, to participate in a free personal safety course entitled "Pretty Tough-- Self Defense Options for Women."
In survival mode the human brain will search its memories (“brain files”) to determine how to solve the problem. If you are in a situation where you may need to defend yourself, these “brain files” will help. Creating a plan under duress is difficult at best. Why not take this opportunity to create these “brain files” and learn simple techniques that will help you survive?
In this series, participants are provided training and have the opportunity to solve many types of scenarios through open discussion and demonstration. They will also learn the importance of having an “emergency plan” in case they must defend themselves.
Deputies who teach Arrest and Control techniques have designed and instruct this hands-on class. Our goal is to empower women with tools and the mind-set to maintain personal safety and to successfully identify, confront and survive potentially dangerous situations. A focus on situational awareness and training in physical self-defense techniques provide options to reduce the risk of abuse and attack.
This class occurs on two evenings (one session per evening), during the same week from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Registration begins 30 days before the course starts.
Courses held four times per year.
Special requests from the community are considered on a case-by-case basis, with at least 10 confirmed participants.
Dress for physical activity and hydrate before and after classes.
