ABOUT THE COURSE

We offer Womens' Self Defense throughout the calendar year on a rotating schedule. A minimum of 10 participants must enroll in order to hold a class and space is limited. Therefore we suggest and encourage that all participants pre-register.

This is a 4 hour couse that meets for an hour. It is normally held on Saturday afternoons from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Special days and hours are available for crisis prevention organizations and other victim service providers, please call for details.)

The course is 2% assault prevention and awareness lecture and 98% self-defense techniques, with ample time to practice at the end of each session. The instructor of the course is SiMo Cassy Reece, with over 8 years experience in Pai Te Lung.

The goal is to provide women with the knowledge and training to be able to protect themselves and try to avoid the violent situation in order to survive. Our focus is on self-protection. Therefore, your first responsibility is to try to avoid dangerous situations by staying alert. However despite the best possible avoidance measures- avoidance doesn't always work. When faced with a violent situation, you are forced to be face to face with your attacker- usually alone.. relying only on your own resources and knowledge to survive. And if you are properly trained and confident in your ability to protect yourself, you will do so quite effectively.
