PE 1395
Self Defense and Personal Safety in the Modern World

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2022-2023. Courses of Study 2022-2023 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The ability to defend your person is not only for experts who possess mystical secrets. This class is targeted towards the beginner level and persons who may feel unsafe, desire to develop self-confidence, and wish to learn techniques to deter, delay and escape a possible attacker. These skills are learned through a progressive training program that, when properly followed, develops awareness, strength and self-confidence. The class provides an opportunity to learn a system of practical, proven self-defense techniques and educates the individual in the strategies of personal safety and awareness. This class borrows heavily from the United States Army Modern Combatives Program and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. It covers enhanced situational awareness, preventing takedowns, unarmed weapons defense, defense from the ground, effective use of your environment and defense tools found in our everyday world. Build confidence and understand your personal capabilities.
