Ladies Only Krav Maga Self Defense Tues & Thurs Nights 7:00 PM  We will be offering a 9 week self defense course for LADIES ONLY starting Tuesday, October 11.  This program will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to deal with threats and physical attacks, which may occur on the street or at home.  We will teach and prepare you to defend against common chokes, grabs, bear-hugs and other attacks. These include fighting from the ground and what to do when confronted with weapons. You will learn to be aware of potential dangers and avoidance. The program incorporates training methods to build a woman’s fighting spirit and to train women how to respond both mentally and physically.  The cost of the program is $150, but we will be offering our karate ladies (13 and up only) a tremendous discount.  You get the entire 9 weeks for only $90!  If you have a friend who would like to join you in this class, they also get a special price (though not as special as yours), only $120!  So helps us spread the word.  October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the perfect time to work with our ladies to begin this journey!
