SUMMARY:Self-Defense And Personal Safety
DESCRIPTION:Join RUPD for an entry-level assault defense course that requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant.

SUMMARY:Self-Defense And Personal Safety
DESCRIPTION:Join RUPD for an entry-level assault defense course that requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant. Since physical force is a last resort\, we will discuss alternative means to de-escalate a situation\, either by confronting an attacker or by diffusing it. Once a situation becomes physical\, the goal is to get away from the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Come out and join RUPD for tactical training tools to help you protect yourself if you ever become a victim of an attack. \nLocation: College Ave Gym – Multipurpose Room (dance studio) \nDates: 2/10\, 2/24\, 3/10\, 3/24
