Spring Update

Spring is here (at least thats what I keep telling myself). :-) 


I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in such a long time. I have been particular busy on the guy side of things (which is Life Force Protection, LLC). We are taking a lot of the material that we have developed and putting it into a template for non-profit work. With the hopes of pushing it out for everyone's benefit. 

With that said, here's whats new with Fight Like A Girl - Akron: 

1. We have had considerable interest in the Child Awareness Rapid Escape course. We ran a community event at Akron Children's in February and we had a phenomenal turnout of 68 children - yikes! I was sore after that class. Because of the demand for this course we are changing our fee structure to be more inclusive: CARE Classes will be valued at $150 for up to 30 children. This makes for a great way to offer this material to scout troops, church groups, social clubs, and large families!
2. We have combined the techniques from DAW (Defense Against Weapons) and GOG (Girls on Guard) to bring you a much more developed format that is congruent with the realities of street self defense (gross motor based, easy to remember, and use). 
3. Lastly, I've gotten feedback from people who have been to my classes and have told me that what I said about freezing when you are attacked is true. How can you offset this? remember to start talking to your attacker, get your hands up (even if you are down); talking and motion engage your brain to snap out of the Survival Stress Reaction and then commit to a course of action and do not stop! I know this because it has happened to me as well. Practice, builds muscle memory. Come to more of our classes, teach your friends; get a training partner. 

Our next class is listed below. 

Stay Safe!
