Program Description

Event Details

Learn about awareness and prevention strategies for seniors, including the pros and cons of pepper spray, using household items as improvised weapons and using a cane to defend yourself, called “Cane Fu.” You will be shown techniques to defend against those attacks most likely to occur during an assault: wrist grabs, chokes, holds, etc.

Whatever your age or physical ability, these techniques are simple to learn, easy to remember, yet effective enough to incapacitate an attacker.

This is an informational program. No registration required.
