Week 3: RUN — Assessing Risk and Escaping from Danger

Each session in this 5-week series (10 total hours of training), we’ll deeply explore one of the five safety action principles of Empowerment Self-Defense: Think, Yell, Run, Fight, Tell. In addition to physical techniques (including strikes, kicks, and releases from grabs and pins), we’ll work on situational awareness, recognizing the warning signs of violence, and personal boundary setting and enforcement.
