Women, Ladies, Girls: take responsibility for preparing yourself in the event of a crime. The more prepared you are, the less likely you will need to defend yourself. This class is designed to increase your personal level of awareness, thus reducing the chance you will find yourself in a compromising situation, whether it be at home, in a parking lot, or out jogging.

Basic self-defense techniques will be demonstrated with opportunity for practice. Even if you’ve taken this class before, it is always to your benefit to refresh or practice your self-defense skills. Class instructors will be TPD Chief Matt Johnson and Officer Matt Maestas.

This class will be held on Saturday April 23 from 9:00am-4:00pm and the cost is $40.

To register for this class or others, contact the EWC Community Education office at 307.532.8323 or stop by to visit them in the CTEC building at 3200 West C Street in Torrington.
