"NOT ME!" Women's Assault Prevention & Self-Defense Class

"NOT ME!" focuses on prevention and awareness of assaults, along with the most effective escape tactics to use if the worst is happening.

“Not Me!” has trained over 10,000 women in small, intimate classroom settings. It is taught by former Navy SEAL, Al Horner and his co-instructor Karla Rapp who has real life experience in dealing with assault.

Participants will learn the “who, what, when, where and how” of assaults. Once you understand the sequence of assaults, you will recognize the signals and be able to stop the assault before it escalates to the next level.

Class topics include statistics, prevention and awareness tools, escape tactics, drugging, safety items, and what to do when a weapon is involved.
