Second Women’s Self Defense Class Now Available March 28th

How to Evade a Touch
The response to our March 21st Women’s Self Defense Class has been so great that we are opening up a second class on March 28th, 1 – 4pm because the first class is almost at capacity. Everywhere I go in Poway this week, I hear people talking about the recent Chelsea King incident. Parents are concerned for their children and women are concerned for their own personal safety.
The “Tools for Personal Safety – Women’s Only Self Defense” workshop has never been more important to learn than right now. I don’t know if you saw the recent article from March 1st in the Union Tribune about the attack on a jogger from December, but, it mentioned that the reason that girl was able to escape was due to her martial arts training that she had been doing since she was a kid.
If you’ve never considered taking martial arts classes before, you should definitely attend the Women’s Safety class on March 28th, and also seriously give some thought to signing up for regular weekly training. As it is with any skill, practice makes perfect and all the tools you will learn will be easier to implement in the heat of the moment, when you have practiced them before you need it. With regular martial arts training, your natural reflexes will take over and you will be able to perform the techniques without even thinking about it.
Women who attend the class on March 28th will learn physical self defense techniques as well as unique strategies to help them control, avoid, evade and escape dangerous situations. You will learn how to get away from being grabbed by the arm, from behind or even if you are pinned to the ground. In addition, you’ll learn how predators think so you can improve your awareness of your surroundings and avoid dangerous situations entirely.
The “Tools for Personal Safety – Women’s only Self Defense” workshop is March 28, 2010, from 1 – 4 pm. We are located at 13160 Poway Road (in the Library Plaza Shopping Center).
Fee: $30 per person. If you bring a friend, you can save $5 each!
Participants should wear comfortable clothes. Please call Tony for more information or with any questions #858-486-0059.
See you in the dojo!

Self Defense & Personal Safety Tools Class for Women to be Held March 21
###
In light of the recent abduction of Chelsea King right here in our neighborhood of Poway/Rancho Bernardo, I’ve been getting a lot of calls from women in town who are concerned for their safety and that of their children. In response to this, I’m holding the “Tools for Personal Safety – Women’s Only Self Defense” workshop on March 21, from 1 – 4pm.
This class has never been more important to learn than right now. I’ll be showing the women who attend actual, physical self defense techniques as well as unique strategies that can help them in escaping, avoiding, controlling, and evading dangerous situations that can jeopardize their safety. This information is not available at any other martial arts school in Poway or San Diego and you do not need any previous self defense training to learn and use it right away.
Some of the techniques will show women how to escape if an attacker grabs them from behind, by the arm, or even if they have you pinned to the ground or held against your will. Yes, even if they are strattled on top of you, there is an escape move you can use to get away.
Also, we’ll cover tips women can use every day to increase their awareness of their surroundings. We’ll discuss what to do if a stranger approaches asking for help, how to protect yourself in the car and parking lot and most importantly, how to avoid dangerous situations all together.
Don’t miss this important Women’s Safety and Self Defense class and please share this information with anyone you know: mother, sister, aunt, niece, grandmother, wife, daughter, friend, co-worker. They will be glad you did.
The “Tools for Personal Safety – Women’s Only Self Defense” workshop will be held on March 21, 2010, from 1 – 4 pm at 13160 Poway Road (in the Library Plaza Shopping Center). NOTE We have opened up a 2nd class on March 28th because the class on the 21st is almost at capacity!
Fee: $30 per person. Those who bring a friend will save $5 per person.
Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothes. A limited number of sponsored spaces are also available to those who have previously been battered or abused. Please call Tony for more information on this valuable program at #858-486-0059.

Instructor Tony Whetstine Demonstrates How to Escape When an Attacker Grabs You From Behind
A couple of times per year I offer a customized class for women that covers not only self defense tips but touches on some critical awareness tools and some of the most common and current methods used by predators. I call this class “Tools for Personal Safety for Women.”
This class is never more important than during the holiday season. It gets dark earlier and there are lots of shopping trips and very busy stores and malls. It is easy to get into a rush to go from one place to another or one store to another. That’s why it is important to recover some things you perhaps already know and learn some new tools to keep yourself and your children safe this holiday season.
This course is unique and will cover some tools that are not taught anywhere else and I have been told by past participants how useful and how different this course is from any other self defense course they have taken.
I always enjoy meeting people and getting good critical feedback on this course and am looking forward to teaching it again this December. Read this for more details on the “Tools for Personal Safety for Women” class and see testimonials from past students.

“I learned the power of leverage, not strength. The techniques were simple, do-able, and I came away with usable ideas.
