Critical Questions
Do you have a plan in place if your home were invaded tonight by armed attackers set on killing you and your family (or worse)?
Do you know what the most important thing to do in a violent encounter is to shift the odds in favour of you surviving?
Most people aren’t prepared and just hope this never happens. If you’d like to be prepared these classes are for you.
YWCA Personal Protection Program
Learn the principles you need to improve your chances of surviving a violent encounter. This six-week course will cover the basics of how to identify threats and avoid them. You will also learn how to incapacitate your attacker in the event you are unable to avoid a violent encounter.
