Protect yourself: Self-Defense Training for Women at MCC-Blue River

Self-Defense Training for Women

Learn to be safe at home, work, school, and even in relationships. The MCC-Blue River Self-Defense Training for Women seminar will increase your awareness and reduce your risk of becoming a crime victim. You will get right in the moment with this reality-based, one-time, four hour course on May 7 from 8 a.m. to noon.

"The paradox of self-defense," according to instructor Rusty Sullivan, "is that the more prepared you are, the less likely you are to need it. When you can recognize and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations you are more confident in your everyday activities." You are also less likely to become the target of a crime. This training would be invaluable to teenagers and their moms as well.
