Women's Self-Defense Class - Taekwon-Do Center

Teakwon-Do Center, 29 Alden Street, is hosting a Defense Against Weapons (DAW) workshop for women only.  This event will take place this afternoon from 1 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.  

One of the most common questions women have is, "but what if he's holding a knife against my throat?”  You must be prepared to defend against an armed rapist.  Knowing that the unarmed defender is at a huge disadvantage against an armed attacker, this all new module is designed to provide responses that allow a woman to neutralize an attack until help can arrive.  Techniques include defense against being strangled with a cord, beaten with a club, stabbed with a knife or shot with a handgun.  The principal here is "Stop the Killing" long enough so you can save yourself when there is no one else to save you.

Registration is $60 and no experience is necessary.  For more information, visit www.taekwon-docenter.com, email tkdcenternj@gmail.com or call 908-497-1100.  All are welcome.
