Have you turned on your television or radio today?  How many incidents of
violence against women did the announcer cover?  Between house intrusions,
car-jacking, assaults, rapes, robberies, and murders, we are made aware of the
risks facing us everyday. 
It is only by taking a proactive approach, that we face the best chances of avoiding or surviving violence.  We should develop a level of preparedness to help us make decisions that could save our lives or limbs and that's what this course can do for you.
 
This class is for those who are interested in learning ways to reduce their risks of being targeted for crime, and ways to help survive a crime if you are targeted.   There are no physical or age requirements needed for this course. Some of the evasive techniques taught may be adapted to your individual ability.
 
Don't continue to allow the criminal the advantage over you just because he knows what and who to target.  Learn some secrets that give you this information, and the ability to avoid being targeted for a crime.  After completing this course, you will have a personalized safety plan, and a good understanding of ways to avoid or survive attacks. You will no longer be an uninformed victim, but someone who is given much of the same tips as police officers receive in their training.

Course Description

This class is for those who are interested in learning ways to reduce their risks of being targeted for crime, and ways to help survive a crime if you are targeted. 

 

With crime on the rise throughout most areas of the world, we must ask ourselves what we can do to be safer.  This class will give you some information that you can use to make yourself and your family safer.  It will allow you to understand how you can incorporate psychological, physical, and environmental tools to reduce your risks, and to help you survive an attack if you are approached. You will learn to change the very way that you appear to the criminal to help you to be a less desired target.

 

There are no physical or age requirements needed for this course. Some of the evasive techniques taught may be adapted to your individual ability. I will happily give individualized assistance to you to gain as much as you can from this class. Email me at anytime during the class, and we will individualize your plan and help you to know what might work best for you.

 

Don't continue to allow the criminal the advantage over you just because he knows what and who to target.  Learn some secrets that give you this information, and the ability to avoid being targeted for a crime.  After completing this course, you will have a personalized safety plan, and a good understanding of ways to avoid or survive attacks. You will no longer be an uninformed victim, but someone who is given much of the same tips as police officers receive in their training.

 

If you are a women living alone, with children,  go to malls, go to grocery stores, travel frequently, and/or live in a neighborhood that has a lot of crime; this class is for you. This will also benefit those who do not feel they are at high risk of becoming a victim, but would like to educate themselves or their children in ways to be safer.
