Description

This class introduces students to IMPACT Bay Area’s approach to personal safety. We think of self-defense as a spectrum that starts with the first feelings in your body when you notice a situation might not be safe, through physical self-defense if necessary, all the way to what you can do to take care of yourself after something happens. Learn to recognize and honor your own intuition, develop assertive body language and powerful verbal skills, and practice simple and effective physical strike techniques!

Students will:

• Learn to listen to their inner alarm bells, practice threat assessment and use assertive body language

• Practice “self-defense voice," using language that can alert oneself, the attacker and bystanders

• Practice setting boundaries through internal boundary recognition, body language and the use of verbal skills

• Learn two powerful physical strikes to the face and groin

• Understand the importance of adrenaline management and early boundary setting in both acquaintance and stranger interactions

*Payment is nonrefundable due to SafeBears reserving the private class in advance, but spots are transferable.
