The first half focuses on self-protection strategies that can prevent\, avoid\, or help you escape the need for physical self-defense – including mindset\, how you present yourself in the world\, and situational awareness that improves early recognition of risk. \nThe second half shifts into practical physical self-defense with guided coaching: legal concepts and constraints\, distance and positioning\, creating verbal and physical boundaries\, and sample techniques based on participants’ real concerns. We also discuss weapons as force multipliers – tools that can “add authority” to what you do with your body – and close with comments\, questions\, and observations.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n					\n					\n						\n						\n							\n								\n								9:00 AM - 11:00 AM | Self-Protection (Prevent\, Avoid\, Escape) \n								\n							\n							\nElements we will touch on include: \n\nMindset and "How you present yourself in the world"\nSituational awareness and perception of danger\nTrusting intuition (recommended resource: The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker).
