"Self-defense is a set of awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation skills, safety strategies, and physical techniques that enable someone to successfully escape, resist, and survive violent attacks"

The University Club welcomes Investigator Amy Kowalski with the A.P.D.to lead women's self  defense training every Tuesday evening in
September at the Club.  Sessions will be September 7, 14, 21, and 28 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
 
Every woman can learn more about how to defend herself.  Join us for these sessions to add to your self-defense toolkit. Hopefully you will never have to use them, but if the need arises you’ll have these essential skills to protect yourself.
 
Bring your mom, daughters, sisters,  aunts, and friends and let’s learn how to kick some butt!! 
 
The classes will be held in the main room and will start at 5:30 p.m and will end at 8:30. If you would like to sign up but can not get here until a bit later that is not a problem. Come when you can!
 
The cost is $20 for all four classes. This special series is sponsored by The University Club Foundation and one need not be a member to participate.  You can reserve through the Club’s website or by emailing mfahy@universityclubalbany.com or calling (518) 463-1151.
