Class Dates:
October 15, 22, 29, & November 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday afternoons Basics is now offered on a “pay what you can” basis. We ask people to pay $100 (the class is valued at $495) as a deposit to secure your place in the class. At the end of the course, students will decide how much they want to pay in total—based on their financial circumstances and how much they feel the experience was worth. If it is not possible to pay $100 for the deposit, please call the office to arrange for scholarship funding to cover as much as you need. We are committed to serving everyone, regardless of finances. Basics is a comprehensive program offering instruction and practice in a range of realistic encounters at various levels of danger or threat. Students learn to trust their instincts and increase their environmental awareness. Verbal strategies include those designed to help prevent potential encounters escalating to violence, and strategies to manage verbal conflict and boundary violations. We train individuals in options for physical resistance. These techniques include walking away, breathing, posture and other non-verbal communication, as well as strikes for when danger is imminent and can’t be avoided. Through repetition and a gradual increase in challenge and intensity (specific for each student), our graduates gain confidence in their abilities FAQS
