Self-Defense for Children
$30 Discounted for Residents, $40 Regular Fee for Non-Resident
Ages: 6-11
If someone wants to hurt our children, they will not choose a time or place with witnesses. That means no parents, no teachers, no policemen – just our children and the predator. The safety of our children will depend on their ability to recognize danger and respond appropriately.
This fun, interactive and age-appropriate workshop teaches essential, lifesaving information about the dangers that our children face, strategies for prevention, and real-world techniques designed to reduce their risk of abductions, assaults, and other forms of violence.
Most of all, this program teaches students that they have the right to be safe, that no one has the right to hurt them, and that they are worth protecting.
Important Class Information
No refunds or credit with less than 24-hour notice. If you need a medical exception, email Live Safe Academy at info@LiveSafeAcademy.com before class.
