If you’re over 17, don’t miss out on the upcoming Personal Safety and Self-Defense Seminar, a joint initiative by Sturgeon County and the Edmonton Garrison.

This 3-hour workshop will be part discussion and part physical technique. The discussion will include topics such as how to: recognize danger, understand and use intuition, manage fear, understand our rights and limits with regards to defending ourselves, and know what options we have when encountering high risk individuals. Physical techniques taught will include how to: protect yourself standing, escape and evade, maintain a healthy distance with “soft” and “hard” techniques, use objects on or around you to defend, block incoming strikes and deliver basic counter-strikes. This class is safe, very fun and inclusive. These life skills will help keep you safe your entire life! Bring some friends and learn together!
