Don’t send your daughter off to college or out in the world

without being able to defend herself. A violent attack is never

a planned thing for the victim. It can leave them scarred

physically and emotionally for life.

Mr. Canavan’s “Introduction

to Self Defense” course will

teach you the basic skills that

are needed in order to protect

yourself and the ones you

love. Learn how to improve

your balance and reaction time,

and become aware of your

surroundings and potential

dangerous situations.

Remember, don’t allow

yourself to become a victim of violence. Fight back! This class

is designed specifically for teens and adults.
