Learn the basics of self-defense in this free, interactive course, led by a personal safety and martial arts expert, on Thursday, Nov. 13, from 4-5:30 p.m. in the Group Activities Room of the Whitty Student Fitness Center. All students and employees are welcome.
Studies show that self-defense courses improve confidence and reduce women’s vulnerability to violence. Focused on situational awareness, personal assertiveness and verbal and physical strategies for keeping yourself safe, this course teaches self-defense techniques in a fun, empowering environment.
The event is sponsored by the Office of Equal Opportunity and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Detroit Mercy.
