"Self Defense Classes for Grades 9th thru 12th"

Washington Township Recreation

“One big thing that people tend to lack is the basic skills that are needed to defend themselves in hostile or dangerous situations. Taking the effort and time out to learn these lifesaving skills can be one of the smartest things that someone does.”

Washington Township Police Department and Recreation, would like to continue to offer the “Self-Defense Classes” to High School 9th through 12th grade students. “Self-defense is defined as the right to prevent suffering force or violence through the use of a sufficient level of counteracting force or violence.” There are 4 Self-defense & Safety tips all students should know! The first one is to enroll in a Self-Defense class.

This class will demonstrate physical techniques, security tips, and how to avoid potentially dangerous situations. Instructor, Sergeant Brian Bigham will demonstrate helpful information that teaches a mix of physical skills and life lessons. This FREE three day session begins on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 from 5:00pm- 6:00pm and continues on Feb. 5th & ends on Feb. 12th. It will take place at the Washington Township Police Headquarters, 1 East Springtown Road. We only have limited space available so register before January 24, 2019.
