Defend Yourself!!
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Enid YWCA will hold a self-defense class on Saturday from 10 am to noon in the Virginia Groendyke Conference room, located on the first floor.
The class is open to anyone age 12 and older and will be taught by Andrea Watkins of the Oklahoma Kenwa Kai School of Karate. The class will cover basic non-physical self-defense, weak areas of the body, basic kicks, body weapons, and an opportunity for students to practice physical self-defense techniques.
“Participating in a self-defense class is not just about learning how to use physical defense tactics in a harmful situation, but also about gaining confidence in your ability to take care of yourself,” said Kayte Anton, community education and prevention specialist at the YWCA.
Cost to attend is $10 per person or $5 if class participants donate a priority item from the Crisis Center Current Needs List. Priority items for the Crisis Center include pillows, pillow cases, towels, diapers and pull-ups in all sizes, plus-size women’s clothing, winter clothing for women and children, pajamas, bathrobes and cleaning supplies.
Registrations must be received by Thursday. Space in the class is limited and tuition must be paid to reserve a student’s spot in the class.
Registration forms are available at the YWCA, located at 525 S. Quincy. For more information, please call Anton at (580) 234-7581.
