The North Judson Police Department wants to ensure that local women and girls are equipped with the skills necessary to protect themselves in case of an emergency.
In her report at Monday night’s North Judson Town Council meeting, Marshal Kelly Fisher mentioned that the police department will host a women’s self-defense class on Saturday, November 10th.
Fisher said she’s been approached by some local ladies who expressed an interest in a class where self-defense skills are taught. She noted some of those women were mothers who have daughters that attend after-school activities on their own or ones who are about to head off to college.
According to the event description, some simple, yet valuable, self-defense techniques will be taught during this four-hour session. Instructors will teach women of all fitness levels various options to escape attacks quickly and effectively.
Participants must be at least 10-years-old to attend. Girls who are younger than 18-years-old must be accompanied by their mother or another adult. Individuals are encouraged to wear comfortable yet appropriate clothing and to bring along some water to stay hydrated.
The training class will be held on the second Saturday in November from 8 a.m. until noon at the North Judson San Pierre High School. Registration will start at 7:30 a.m.
