Lone Star College-Montgomery’s Health and Sport Science Club will host a Women’s Self-Defense Course on Thursday, April 4, from 6:15-7:30 p.m. in the LSC-Montgomery aerobics room (Commons Building, Bldg. A, Room 118). The course, normally priced at $65, is free to faculty, staff, students and the community member; however, spots are limited.

“This course will help give security and peace of mind in knowing that you can dramatically increase the chances of surviving/avoiding a violent attack,” said Tim Mousel, kinesiology instructor at LSC-Montgomery. “The ability to protect yourself, your friends and family from dangerous situations is priceless.”

This is the same course that has been taught at institutions such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Coca-Cola Foods, Shell Exploration and Production Company, BMC Software, United States Sports Academy, Memorial Hospital System, and many smaller companies.

The following will be covered:

•    Defense against the most common strikes
•    How to escape the most common grabs and holds
•    Extensive training about survival on the ground
•    Strategies to trick your attacker
•    How to avoid a violent confrontation
•    Imagine a 200 pound attacker pinning you on your back…learn how to escape safely
•    Learn to disable your attacker by utilizing your strengths against the attacker’s weaknesses

This self-defense course has been designed specifically to empower women with the skills, tactics and strategies to survive a violent situation.  

Only 50 spots are available and pre-registration is required. Contact Tim Mousel at timothy.j.mousel@lonestar.edu for more details, or to reserve your spot, complete the registration form at http://goo.gl/fccd6.
