"This course offers adults a full introduction to self-defense--a course in learning how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. While self-defense is often defined as the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence, this course will address a much broader spectrum of strategies for effective self-defense."--Introduction

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Highly recommended submitted by carolyndevine on April 29, 2019, 3:47pm Excellent – Descriptions and demonstration are done well by a highly trained self-defense instructor.

A lot of information submitted by yufamily on July 26, 2019, 10:09pm I like her philosophy of "You do you."
