“This Women’s Basics is a 20+ hour course that covers situational awareness, verbal and emotional boundary setting, and effective physical self-defense,” their website states. “In this course we focus on attacks by a single, unarmed assailant – the most common form of attack that individuals face. We also explore issues related to fear and violence in society, and students have an opportunity to create custom fight scenarios. For maximum individual instruction, classes are limited to 14-16 students.”

In addition to the first class on October 18, there are three classes on October 19, October 25 and October. The cost of attendance is $595 for all 24 hours of instruction.
