Self-Awareness and Personal Defense Workshop
Sun Feb 4, 2024 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Crosstown Concourse/Church Health Meeting Room ,1350 Concourse Ave, 1st Fl, Memphis Tn., 38104
Description
This is a street awareness and self-defense workshop designed to help you recognize trouble from predators in time for you to act. This workshop is taught by a 27-year veteran (retired) of the Memphis Police Department and now a Criminal Justice instructor. The workshop will teach you the thought pattern and actions of a predator before and when they strike.
You will be going through an exciting new training developed to use sights, limited sight and sounds to prepare you for an incident through your God given instincts to train you to react faster and correctly. I call this training Interactive Simulation. It is a training to prepare your senses to evaluate what you feel from what you see or hear. This will give you better mental and physical reaction skills.
There will be training for you to be able to avoid physical confrontations by verbal de-escalation or avoiding the situation all together. You will be taught simple but effective protective techniques to escape an attack. You will be also shown some self-defense tactics if you are in fear that your life is in danger. It will also be discussed when you should and should not use deadly force, either with your hands or a weapon.
The workshop is open to all women 13 and above. Any female under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Wear something comfortable if you want to participate in the techniques. The price of the event is $35.
Thank you for choosing this workshop to serve your safety needs and allowing me to be a servant to the community!
