Teen Self Defense Class on Saturday January 18, 2014 from 10 am to 12 pm

I will be presenting a 2-hour seminar focused on teaching teens (13-18) to identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations, suggestions on how to de-escalate a situation before it becomes violent, and when there are no other options, how to use the least amount of force necessary to escape a confrontation. Students will learn simple, effective, and easy to remember defenses to common unarmed attacks, as well as against a club or knife attack.

The class is being provided by Vernon Township at
Peterson Park
16652 Buffalo Grove Rd.
Prairie View, IL 60069
Residents of Vernon Township - Fee: $5
Non-Residents: $7.50

I am a practicing attorney with over 15 years of experience in Kenpo Karate, Krav Maga, and the Filipino Martial Arts, will address the legal ramifications of using self-defense.
