The Community Education office at Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington is offering a Basic Self Defense for Women class.

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 instructor Officer Bryan has updated the class curriculum to include the use of pressure points as a self-defense technique.

This class will be held on Thursday February 7 or March 7 from 6:30-8:30 pm and the cost is $20 per session.

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