Self-Defense Class Offered to Women Living in Sudbury and Lincoln

SUDBURY, MA — The Lincoln Police collaborated with Domestic Violence Services Network (DVSN) to offer a RESIST self-defense class for all young women living in Lincoln or Sudbury.

The goal of the course is to learn how to escape from an attacker by using instinct-based moves, said Lincoln police.

The two-day class takes place on March 14 and 16 from 3:30-6:30 p.m. at Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School.

Day 1: talk about general safety & dating safety before learning and then practicing physical self-defense moves like strikes, blocks, and knee strikes.

Day 2: students and instructors don protective gear, and participants will be "attacked" using learned moves to escape. This part of the course is intense but amazing and empowering.

The course is free, but space is limited. You must pre-register.
