Description

4 Hour Self-Defense Class, Followed by 1-2 Hour Social Many of our local Complete K9 clients know Trainer Dennis Thomas, but don't know that he is also a HIGHLY accomplished Sensei that owns OneHeart Dojo in Athens, TN! After some bribing and begging (ok, so it didn't take that much because he's such an awesome guy), we FINALLY convinced him to teach a 4-Hour Ladies Self Defense Course here at our facility in Sweetwater!! In today's society, it only takes moments to become a victim - walking to your car from the store, a senior citizen taking a morning stroll, or even a jogger taking a run around the block. Average people in average situations become victims on a daily basis; it only takes a few moments to change your life forever (or even end it). There is only ONE way to help prevent a bad situation into becoming potentially life threatening - PROPER TRAINING! In this course, you will not only learn how to avoid your body's natural Freeze, Fight, Flight response when encountering a threat, but also how to potentially drive OFF your attacker and help law enforcement bring them to justice once you are free! Safety Topics Covered Include (but are not limited to): - Situational Awareness - Avoiding Potentially Dangerous Situations - Temporarily Disabling an Attack - Getting Help WITHOUT Your Attacker Knowing Physical Self-Defense Techniques Include (but are not limited to): - Passive Stance - Triggering the Solar Plexus and Lungs - Palm, Elbow, and Slap Strikes - Knee Kicks and Football Kicks - Balance Points - Misdirection Techniques - Blocking Techniques - Pressure Points - Brain Mapping - Breaking Choke and Strangle Holds - Breaking Arm Locks - Breaking Wrist, and Front Grabs ... and MORE!!! During this class, you will not only study the skills you need to survive an attack, but will also get hands on so you can PRACTICE these moves in a safe space with your classmates and your Instructor! Things to Know: *Once this super intense class is over though (around 8:30 pm), join us and relax for an hour or two while we order pizza and unwind! Water and soft drinks provided, wine and beer allowed (but BYOB)!! **While this is a physically demanding course, should you have a disability, we will do all we can to work around it so we can make sure you take away life-saving skills from it! ***There are very REAL situations discussed in this course, and students are encouraged to share personal stories and situations. Please know that these may be adult and graphic in nature, so if minors want to attend - parents are encouraged to attend as well and to use their best judgement regarding their child's ability to handle the maturity of the class content.
