Self-Defense Workshop for Women and Men

Length: 6 hours

Requirements: All women signing up for the Workshop must be at least 12 years oldunless special arrangements have been made with Mr. Newton. Men are welcome to attend.

The "I Will Fight Back" Workshop encapsulates the essentials of the 12-hour "I Will Fight Back" course into one six-hour session.  The workshop will consist of lectures, discussions, practice and hands-on experience.  Those in attendance will walk out of the class with a strong foundation of the many philosophies and strategies necessary to successfully  defend themselves against an attack.

I teach all the techniques, with more than 150 variations.  Also, potential attack situations, and, of course, the psychological factors and implications of an actual or impending attack situation will be stressed.

Attendees will learn how to remain calm; not simply told to be calm, but actually learn how to remain calm and prepare themselves to control a potentially dangerous situation.  They will also learn how to breathe properly and to give an accurate description of the assailant.

"Total Awareness" will be emphasized throughout the sessions... awareness of their surrounding, awareness of the ways to prevent any type of attack, and awareness of the many "tools" available to control the situation physically, if necessary.

All present will be given a four-page brochure, "How to Control Your Environment", which I wrote to explain how to secure your home and feel more secure while out alone.

This program is easy for everyone regardless of age, size and level of physical fitness.

No matter what sort of physical or emotional limitations someone may have, it will be addressed.  I INTEND TO ERASE THE MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS THAT SURROUND THE CRIME OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS AGAINST WOMEN.
