Self Defense
In this course, students will learn the ability to defend against a multitude of attacks. Whether it be chokes, grabs, or knife attacks, students will develop the strength and confidence to survive an attack. This is a four week course that meets once a week for an hour and a half.
Taught by a UWL police officer, this course is held in a non-competitive environment where students work with each other to better their abilities and confidence. Based on simple principles and instinctive movements, the course is designed to teach real self defense in the shortest possible time.
