What is a Self Defense Class?
A self defense class is a workshop which provides the people who attend it with basic self defense skills. Typically, a self defense class is sponsored and led by a women’s group or law enforcement, although it is open to all members of a community. Depending on the type of class, the workshop may take only a few hours on a Saturday morning, or might take the form of multiple classes spread out over several weeks. People who are not familiar with any martial arts or self defense techniques should strongly consider taking at least an overview self defense class, because it will improve personal safety and make them much more confident.
