Personal Protection Workshop for College Students

When you go away to college, you face many new challenges - including safety concerns. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to reduce the risks you face. Learn how to avoid trouble - avoidance is the ultimate form of personal protection. If trouble catches up with you despite your best efforts, you’ll want to know how to minimize your risk and escape quickly. If all else fails, you may be forced to fight back and you’ll want to know how best to handle a larger and stronger attacker.

Billy & Nancy Greer, owners of the Jing Ying Institute of Kung Fu & Tai Chi, will help you develop your personal protection plan by discussing safe practices and by demonstrating and teaching effective techniques for escaping an aggressor or fighting back. The emphasis is on learning simple principles that are easy to remember and apply, rather than focusing on more complex techniques that require lots of practice to master.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing. You will work with partners and may need to remove watches or jewelry on your wrists.
 
The workshop is great for any teen or young adult, not just the college-bound.

Call or email for alternative times.
