Class instruction and demonstrations will allow you to decrease your vulnerability and give
you a new sense of confidence and personal power. Class activities and discussions are designed
to help women identify their risks, evaluate their strengths and explore their options for
dealing with the threat of sexual violence.
Physical self-defense is most effective when vulnerable areas of the body are targeted.
Some of the skills taught will include multiple strikes to vulnerable areas, as well as
escapes from choke holds, body grabs, wrist grasps, and defense techniques from the ground.
Sponsored by Tigard Police Department.
