Spots still available in women’s self-defense class
There are still spaces available in two free self-defense sessions for women run by the Lincoln Police Department in January and February. Each session will be two nights for three hours each night. On the first night, participants will talk about general safety and then begin practicing physical self-defense moves like strikes, blocks, kicks, and knee strikes. On the second night, an officer suit up in a padded suit will “attack” participants, who will use moves to escape. This part of the course is intense but empowering.
