WTPD Holding Self Defense Classes For High Schoolers

“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 introduce a “Self-Defense Class” 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 college 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. Instructors, Sergeant Brian Bigham & Detective John Wuetemburg will demonstrate helpful information that teaches a mix of physical skills and life lessons. This FREE three day session begins on Monday, January 22, 2018 from 4:30pm- 5:30pm and continues on Jan. 29th & ends on Feb. 5th. It will take place at the Senior Center, 34 East Springtown Road. We only have limited space available so register before January 15, 2018.
