Program Description

Self Defense, Gaye Ferguson. This introductory workshop on personal safety skills will cover how to effectively respond to physically aggressive behaviour using good body mechanics. For example, we can maximize our strength through using leverage, circular movements and using bigger/stronger parts of our bodies against smaller/softer/weaker parts of the attackers body. This workshop is facilitated by Gaye Ferguson , a longtime Wenlido Women’s Self Defense Instructor and ABC regular.
