Our goal is to instill in your child unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.

You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the Women's Self-Defense Class employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.

You may have heard stories of job seekers submitting their resumes online then never hearing back from the company. It was as if their resume ended up in a black hole. One of these black holes is the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) which is used by the majority of companies to scan and screen resumes while ranking them according to keywords and skills.

During this program, you will gain valuable insights from LinkedIn Trainer and Coach, Denis Curtin, as well as specific recommendations for formatting your resumé. Please pre-register for this event.
