The Wildwood Y is offering support to its female neighbors through a one-day self-defense course. Women age 14 and up will be taught to increase awareness of their surroundings, self-defense techniques and how to use their voice as a weapon. The course also will cover the correct way to block, punch, kick, and defend against a grab or an attack. Black-belt instructors Chuck Luntz and a female student from a local high school will lead the course. Wear comfortable clothes. Training will be done barefoot. To sign up, call the Y at 636 458-6636 or go online to ymcastlouis.org. Limited spots available.
