Women’s Self Defense ClassWith Ellie BarrettSaturdays, March 26th thru April 16th Session 1: Psychological – Topics include the instructor’s philosophy on self-defense including how attackers choose their victims and how to avoid becoming a victim. Session 2: Psychological – Awareness, fear and the role intuition plays in self-defense and a discussion of common attitudes and misconceptions about self-defense. Session 3: Psychological – Preparing yourself mentally to defend yourself physically, assessing a situation, lessons from real-life attacks and practical responses to common defense situations. Session 4: Psychological – Avoiding danger through mental and physical preparation and a summary of self-defense basic principles with a question and answer session. Develop the confidence and skills to safely get away! Goals of this course: Psychological readiness is the most important component of self-defense. In this class, we will discuss the psychological methods for recognizing and preventing dangerous situations. This will include discussions of how to read people, how people are reading you, and the three A's of self-defense: 1) Awareness of your surroundings, 2) Assessment of the situation, and 3) Avoidance of danger. This course will also address common attitudes and concerns about self-defense situations and how to respond properly to them. The bulk of the class time will be spent on basic physical techniques for defense and escape. Time and repetition is required for these techniques to become second-nature. This portion will include techniques for deflecting attacks, effective counterattacking, and defenses from grabs. Depending on the interests of the class, we may also cover responses to weapons, rape situations, and what to do if you fall to the ground during an attack. General structure of each 2 hour Session: The next 90 minutes will be spent on physical techniques. These techniques will require practice to master. This portion of the class requires people to work with each other and sometime use props, such as punching bags. The final 10 minutes will be spent reviewing the physical techniques learned in previous sessions. The student will gain the most from this class by practicing between sessions. Regular practice will help the student become more familiar with the psychological and physical techniques. This familiarity is important if the techniques are to be useful in a real situation. Furthermore, practice outside of class will allow the student to identify areas of weakness. These questions can be addressed during class with guidance from the instructor.

In addition, you will learn how to activate therapeutic pressure points along the acupressure channels with self-massage. You can then apply this information to your own daily life using the handouts to guide you through your own exploration as you reference diagrams and written material covering the physical, emotional and psychological significance of the energy in each of the 12 channels.
